How to care for my baby's teeth?

Any ideas on how to care for our baby's teeth and mouth? Share them here please! Let's all help each other in making our kids have the best smiles ever!

Dalinda

I use a small gauze with half a pea size of low flouride toothpaste in cleaning my baby's mouth a 2 front teeth.

Edda

A small, soft cloth is what I use in cleaning Casey's gums and tongue. Yes, a low flouride one is the safest for infants.

Abana

A toothpaste which contain about 1000ppm (parts per million) of fluoride is the best for babies below 3 years old. Pea sized only as it's dangerous for them to A ingest large amounts of flouride. It may cause diarrhea I believe.

Baha

Soft cloth first then transitioned to a small fun toothbrush with extra soft bristles.

I agree with Abana. Be extra careful in putting toothpaste no matter how low-flouride based it is.

Cadelaria

A toothbrush with a bigger handle, soft brush and with artsy design will make brushing your little one's first teeth more fun. Be mindful of the toothpaste brand though, as some brands may tend to cause allergies to babies. Trial and error is a thing in this case too.

Adalira

I'm using a soft gum brush which is included in Earth's Best toothpaste pack. Yup, it's all natural and doesn't contain flouride but cares for my baby's first teeth up to 3 years of age I believe. Schuyler's also having fun with the its strawberry and banana flavor!

Gaetana

Used a soft cloth alongside a low-flouride toothpaste for my sons before. Good thing we have the organic ones these days.

Halia

Oh, I like the idea of using an organic toothpaste and have heard about Burt's Bees too. Thinking of switching when we finish his tube of his Pigeon (got 3 tubes as a Baby Shower gift). Heard that Colgate Kids from 0-3 is also low flouride.

Oh, sorry for not mentioning my most recent highly recommendable product at the beginning of this thread - >> A super-duper tiny Aquafresh training toothpaste.
