The dental surfaces of babies should be cleaned from the moment their first tooth emerges. Approximately the first tooth comes out in the 6th month. The first teeth should be wiped with a damp gauze. They should be brushed without paste with a brush produced for babies and even given to the child's hand. Low fluoride paste can be used at the age of 2-3 years.
