Everyone teaches their children to brush their teeth, but lots of people don't think of baby teeth. Baby's teeth should be brushed every day as soon as they come in. And children should see a dentist as early as 1-2 years of age.

Thank you Robin!!!!!! I worked for a children's dentist for 14 years and you would not believe the number of people who say "oh they're just baby teeth, they don't need to be fixed". People don't realize that if you let the baby teeth decay, the permanent teeth are forming in a diseased area. Taking care of the baby teeth is important! When the first teeth start to come in, take a wet piece of gauze and gently wipe them down. NO JUICE IN THE BOTTLE!!!! Kids carry around a bottle with juice in it and it just constantly bathes the teeth in sugar.
Why is it ok to give fluorinated drinking water to babies when they get teeth but fluoride is removed from baby toothpaste? I don't want to brush my daughter's teeth with the baby toothpastes that are mostly sugar. Is brushing with water enough?
