When to start brushing your baby’s teeth | Dentist Tips
do you know when you're supposed to
brush your baby's teeth for the first
time kids hi welcome back to the kids
post channel today we're with dr. Eli
gold he's been a dentist in Australia
for over 40 years treating everyone from
celebrity two-year-olds to night zero
you don't start brushing them when they
first get teeth you're more likely just
to maybe get a small clot put it around
your finger and brush their teeth
because when a baby is six months I
don't think they really like
toothbrushes in their mouth
why one year of age they've usually got
their full lower front teeth at four
upper front teeth and it's a perfect
time to introduce the toothbrush
I wouldn't insist on toothpaste at all
times and to all kids because the the
thing with toothpastes when you do use
them they start to bubble up and your
mouth and most kids want to spit it out
so I don't think that is the the main
thing I think the main issue is the
brush and making sure that the brush
cleans all the plaque and the food off
the tee if parents can do that and
supervise their kids and in all honesty
up to about three or four years of age
when the child learns manual dexterity
it's more important for the parent
whitby it mother-father etc or
grandparent they should be doing the
cleaning and they should know what
they're doing dr. gold has written this

babies kids teenagers to adults and
