Dental Benefit – Water is Useful in Your Child Dental Care
Most infant foods will easily wash off their teeth with just a drink of water after each meal. Yet it is still good to introduce a toothbrush as soon as possible, so baby can get used to having it in his or her mouth. You probably will not need to use the brush to actually clean Baby’s teeth until he or she is eating only table foods, at around 18 months.
However, you will want to gently clean your child’s teeth with a toothbrush or thimble-like cleaner and some bicarbonate of soda if your toddler has eaten sticky, sugary foods.
