THE BRUSHING PROCESS

👶 Switch strokes to brush back and forth on the chewing surface of the teeth.
👶 Throughout the brushing process, make sure your child spits out the toothpaste.
EARLY SIGNS OF PROBLEMS
👶Babies and children can develop tooth decay if proper dental habits aren't started early.
👶 Putting a baby or child to bed with a bottle can harm their teeth because the sugars in the juice or milk remain on the teeth and gums and can eat away at the enamel.
