Which toothbrush should you use for baby teeth?

Doctor's Answer

The silicone-type finger brush is a really popular choice among many parents.

Do note that babies are really curious explorers so you may find that she keeps biting on the brush (and your finger too! if you are using the finger brush). Not to worry!

There are many teething-type toothbrushes available on the market which are designed to withstand our little chompers. Check them out at your local baby store or ask your dentist to give you a recommendation at your baby’s first dental visit!

Bonus tip: Don’t forget to clean her tongue! Lots of milk residues usually build up on the tongue and are one of the biggest culprits for bad breath in children.
