Good Home Care Routine Start following good home care routine the day you bring your baby home from the hospital. • Use a moist gauze pad to gently clean your baby's gums after feedings. • Floss your child's teeth once a day and teach him to brush and floss by himself as he gets older. stldentistforkids.com
Early Dental Visits According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), “Parents should take their baby to the dentist for his first dental visit before he is a year old.” By doing so, you can alleviate his fear of dentists and your dentist can check and keep track of the growth and development of the teeth. stldentistforkids.com
