Yes you should, but NOT with tomatoes. A wash cloth and clean water is just fine until the baby cuts his or her first tooth then you would need age appropriate toothbrush and toothpaste.

Kindly take a he child to a hospital for proper evaluations and treatments. Clean the mouth with cotton wool in mild antiseptics like TCP and you can apply bonjela cream for soothing effects as first aid on your way to the hospital for proper diagnosis and treatment
Please let your baby be examined by a doctor to determine if he has tongue tied then the next line of action would be discussed with you.
Tongue sucking is one of the common oral habits seen among children. It is normal for infants to suck their tongue, thumbs or fingers. It gives them a form of comfort or emotional security but when this habit goes beyond the age of 5 years when the permanent teeth start to erupt, then it can cause dental problems such as the teeth being out of alignment. You do not need to worry or do anything for now. As she grows older you will need to encourage her to stop by positive reinforcement that is giving rewards on days when she does not suck. Punishments, scolding and nagging will not work because it is a security problem. I hope you find this very useful.
You should use age appropriate tooth brush
Oral thrush is a fungal infection caused by Candida... It usually manifest as whitish patch on the inner surface of the cheeks, mouth and tongue. It may look like milk stain but it is usually difficult to remove. And even if removed, there will be a sore, wound or ulcer left behind. It requires treatment with oral antifungal. It may be a pointer to low immunity in the affected children
A soft clean washcloth or cotton wool damped in clean water will be fine for cleaning your baby's mouth.
You can then transit to an age appropriate toothpaste when the baby's first tooth erupts.

We do not recommend the use of SUCKERS, PACIFIERS, BOTTLES even :) and such for babies on exclusive breastfeeding....It can lead to what we call Nipple confusion and make some babies reject Breastmilk. It also tends to fill babies' tummies with unnecessary gas....as they suck in air.
