Some general tips for infant's teeth
- Choose a time after feeding when your infant is not fussy or overly tired.
- Continue wiping your child’s teeth until he has several teeth
- After more teeth have arrived, begin using a soft bristle, child-sized toothbrush and water.
- Ask your dentist if you need to add fluoride to your baby’s diet. Fluoride prevents cavities and makes teeth stronger.
- Cradle your infant’s head with one arm and wipe or brush with the opposite hand.
- Place your infant on a changing table, bed, floor or lap.
- Sing, talk and smile with your infant while cleaning their teeth.
- Clean or brush your baby’s teeth twice a day.
- Be an example; allow your infant to watch you brush your teeth. This helps teach the importance of good oral hygiene.
It is advised that you should see a pediatric dentist who can diagnose the problem and clean the child's teeth.If these stains are developing after your baby's teeth came in they are on outside of the teeth. If so, they can be removed by your dentist.
