When should children start brushing their teeth? How should they brush their teeth?

When the primary teeth start to come in (erupt), the teeth of the babies should be brushed. The teeth of a baby should be brushed with the help of a gauze patch or an infant finger toothbrush, without using any toothpaste. Between the ages of 2 and 3 fluoride-free toothpastes should be used. After the age of 3, fluoride toothpastes can be used and children should be encouraged by their parents to brush their own teeth.
