Generally speaking, we can divide the tooth-brushing training for young children into three stages.
Stage one: When the baby starts to grow their first tooth, which is around 6 months old, parents should start "brushing teeth" for the baby. Of course, this does not involve using a toothbrush. Instead, parents can wrap their index finger with clean gauze andę²¾with clean water to help the baby clean the mouth, removing any adhering substances on the teeth and gums. This oral care method usually continues until the child is about two and a half years old, at which point all the milk teeth in the mouth will have fully erupted.
