Introducing A Tooth Brush To Your Child

Once our child starts growing baby teeth, it is very important to start cleaning there teeny weeny little teeth. Teeth start sprouting after 7-8 months and at that time the best way is to just wipe them with a plain soft cloth or cloth wire mesh every morning after they wake up and at night.Also this is the time kids usually start getting tooth decays. This is usually coz most kids are still breast fed at that time and some researchers say breast milk is sweet. So the best thing to do whether your child is bottle fed or breast fed is to give them a some water to drink once they drink milk.

Once our child is 1 or 2 years, you can start introducing them to a brush. Buy them a good colorful one. We get a lot of different kinds in the department store near your house.The first brush i bought for my child is a bright red one and you guessed, its a Winnie the Pooh brush.Then every morning after he wakes up, I sent him stratight to the toilet with his brush and a drop size amount of paste. The first few weeks were hell, with him crying to have milk straight from bed but it was a ritual that had to be done:-).

Now my son is 2 years old and the first thing he asks after he wakes up, is his brush. A good accomplishment right.
