I’m often asked by mums for advice on when to start brushing teeth for their babies. Many parents take the view that there is no need to worry about their baby’s oral health prior to teething starting.

In this week’s episode, I discuss a number of areas including:-

• When to start brushing your baby’s teeth.
• When to introduce your child to toothpaste.
• The importance of getting into a routine early on.
