Looking after your Child’s teeth
Primary teeth (baby teeth) are vital for chewing and speaking, and also hold space in the jaws for the adult teeth are developing in the gums. They start to erupt as early as 6 months, and usually have a full set by age 3. The first permanent begin to come through when a child is about 6. By 12 to 13, most children have 28 permanent teeth. The last 4 molars (‘wisdom teeth’) usually come through between 17 and 21 years.
When first teeth erupt through the gums Wipe the teeth and gums daily with a clean damp wash cloth or gauze pad. Do not use toothpaste.
At about 18 months
Use a small tooth brush with soft bristles, twice a day. Start by teaching your child how to hold the brush. However you will need to brush your child�s teeth as they will lack the dexterity.
