CA Dental Insurance, Caring for your baby gums and emerging teeth.
Even before you baby cuts their first tooth you should be into the habit of daily wiping your baby’s gums with a soft damp washcloth. This is important because bacteria in the mouth can harm emerging baby teeth. Once your baby cuts their first tooth you can start to use a baby toothbrush. Just like adult teeth you will want to brush baby teeth twice a day daily. By the time your child cuts their first tooth, it is then also time for you to make their first dental appointment. Seeing a dentist regularly is important in maintaining good oral health for your child.
