Brushing TEETH

    Your child's teeth will include 20 primary teeth - ten at the top and ten at the bottom. Even if your baby has only one or two teeth, they need to be looked after properly. Make sure you brush your baby's teeth as soon as they appear, and try to get into a routine of brushing them twice a day, in the morning and before bedtime.

    You should use a smear of fluoride toothpaste on a small toothbrush for your baby. Baby toothpaste may have a nicer taste, but doesn't offer as much fluoride protection. Check with your family dentist if in doubt of which toothpaste to choose.

    Set a good example - your baby will learn about good teeth hygiene by watching you brush your own teeth.

* My child uses COLGATE toothpaste with a bubblegum flavor. I try other fruit flavor for her but she doesn't like the taste. I always tell her that we should brush her teeth so that she will be more beautiful. I am happy because every time I take her a bath. She will remind me to brush her teeth. As a parent, we should introduce teeth hygiene to prevent "bulok" in her teeth. *
