Baby Teeth

You can protect your baby's oral health by gently cleaning her gums even before her first teeth come in. Once her first tooth comes in, use a soft toothbrush and flouride-free toothpaste to clean her teeth.


Make sure your baby has her first dental visit before her first birthday or within 6 months of her first tooth coming in.


Starting good oral health habits early protects your baby's teeth and her health.
