How do I clean my baby's teeth??
You can start cleaning your baby's teeth by wiping with a soft cloth or brushing with a small soft toothbrush and water. At 18 months start using a pea-sized amount of low-fluoride toothpaste to brush your child's teeth. Encourage your child to spit out toothpaste after brushing, but not rinse
My 6month babysits but whenever she's excited she will fell and hit her mouth on the floor. Hope it won't affect her teeth?
