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.
