Oral Hygiene - or when to start cleaning teeth on babies

To prevent dental problems it is very important the teeth cleaning, and as all of us do is cleaning teeth at least twice a day, but how about our babies, when do you think is is the perfect time to begin this process?

My thought at the beginning was that when baby has all teeth, you can begin to clean them, but after a consultation with a specialist, a good specialist, I understand that once appears the first tooth you need to begin to look after oral hygiene of your baby. This consultation was long after first 4 teeth, so you understand that I didn´t do anything till then. After this advice I have begun to clean the teeth of my baby, but as well not regularly. And now, when Damian, has 12 teeth he cleans his mouth alone. To get this it was easier as I thought, I just had to show my baby that I clean my mouth daily, and gave him his toothbrush and shown him that it is fun he copies me.

Our pediatrician told us that it is very important that when you show your kid the cleaning process you don´t use a toothpaste, because babies want all that we have, Damian till now didn´t ask me for toothpaste.
