What should I use to clean my baby’s teeth?
A toothbrush will remove plaque bacteria that can lead to decay. Any soft-bristled toothbrush with a small head, preferably one designed specifically for infants, should be used at least twice a day at bedtime. Only water should be given after bedtime brushing. Nighttime feeding with milk should be eliminated after age one.
