Keeping your Baby Teeth Healthy from Baby to Adulthood. 

Proper dental care for your child begins before your baby cuts their first tooth. As an infant, you want to keep your baby’s gums clean. You can do this by running a damp washcloth over your baby’s gums following feedings, by doing this can help to prevent the buildup of damaging bacteria. Once your baby has a few teeth showing, you can brush them with a soft child’s toothbrush. Feeding habits for babies are essential in maintaining dental health. Even babies can have problems with dental decay when parents do not practice good feeding habits. Putting a baby to sleep with a baby bottle in its mouth may seem convenient, but it can harm your baby’s teeth. Parents should consider taking their child to a dentist specializing in treating kids. Pediatric dentists are trained to handle the wide range of issues associated with kids’ dental health
