Infants brushing

2023-11-21 03:29:23
Hello Doctor, When to start brushing for kids with toothpaste? Can I brush my kids teeth during bath that to 2 times a day (Is toothpaste required both times)? Until now I didn't use any toothpaste for my 21 months boy. Because babies dont know how to spit. I simply brushing his teeth with silicon brush without any toothpaste. Can you suggest any toothpaste name which is safe for infants?
