When should i start caring for my babys teeth and how do i go about doing it? At what age should i start using tooth brush and tooth paste?

Once the teeth begin coming in, look for a baby toothbrush with a small head and grip suitable for your hand. If they're not cared for properly they can decay, leading to a gum infection called gingivitis, which can affect the spacing of permanent teeth. Begin using a pea-size amount of non-fluoride toothpaste once Baby is about 2. Wait until at least 3, when your child is old enough not to swallow the toothpaste, before introducing the fluoride kind.
