Baby Teeth

Did you know that gum care should begin before the first baby tooth erupts?
Parents should gently wipe the gums of their infants with a clean, damp cloth. This helps keep unhealthy bacteria from getting established in the growing baby’s mouth. Parents should also avoid sharing spoons with their babies and should not attempt to clean a dropped dummy by putting it in their own mouth. A parent already has bacteria established in their own mouth and should avoid passing their bacteria to their child.
