How do I take care of baby teeth ?

If your baby has a few teeth, simply take a wet gauze or wash cloth and gently wipe your baby's teeth and gums. This removes the plaque bacteria responsible for tooth decay.

As your child grows older and gets more teeth, brush your child's teeth with a soft bristled toothbrush. Before each brushing, however, have your child first attempt to "brush" his or her teeth. This gets your child in the habit of wanting to brush.
