Baby teeth care can begin as soon as baby's first tooth shows through the gums. You can use a clean, damp washcloth, a gauze pad, or a finger brush to gently wipe clean the first teeth and the front of the tongue, after meals and before bedtime. You can also use a soft-bristled baby toothbrush and lightly brush baby's teeth. Only water is needed for now and toothpaste should not be used on babies younger than the age of two, because they cannot spit yet.
