Continue to clean your infant's gums after feeding. Once a tooth comes in, start to use a child's soft bristled toothbrush, with no toothpaste, in addition to massaging the gum tissues. To relieve the symptoms of teething, give your infant a clean teething ring or cold wet washcloth. Glycerin is nontoxic and considered safe once you start your baby with a small amount toothpaste at around 6 months. But neither toothpaste nor the glycerin in it are needed for cleaning the mouth of a newborn or young infant less than 6 months old. The benefits of good dental health begin well before your baby is born so get an early start on a lifetime of healthy smiles by taking good care of your own mouth now. Brush for two minutes, twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss every day. Eat healthy foods and follow your physician's advice about diet.
