Dental hygienist designed and launched the first baby toothbrush in 1993. It is similar to an oval-shaped teething toy with a wide end for easy gripping and a narrow end for a small head. This shape prevents it from being inserted into the mouth or swallowing, and some models collide around the grasping end where the baby can bite.
Even before children's teeth enter, parents should start wiping their baby's mouth with a rag or gauze to promote infant's oral health and prevent the accumulation of plaque and bacteria.
It is never too early for parents to encourage young people to start using toothbrushes. "They are ready once they arrive and catch things," said Bob Royce, dental scholar, DDS, MAGD. "It makes children have toothbrushes in their mouths and likes to imitate their parents."
Dr Roesch said: "Parents need to be a good role model." They need to take good care of their teeth and dental care as part of their entire family's daily life. Adults should monitor their children while brushing their teeth. Adults should also help children to pass Sing to help them with oral hygiene or brush teeth by naming a single tooth to be cleaned. "
