Baby Dental Care, For Twelve to 24 Months of Age
Most pediatric dentists will agree that regular dental care should begin by one year of age, with a dental check-up at least twice each consecutive year for most children. Here are some dental care tips.
1) Follow the schedule of dental examinations and cleanings, as recommended by your child’s pediatric dentist. Generally, dental examinations and cleanings are recommended every six months for children and adults, but can be more or less as advise by your dentist.
2) As your child learns to rinse his or her mouth, and as most deciduous/baby teeth have erupted by this age, brushing with a pea-sized portion of fluoridated toothpaste becomes appropriate.
