Around two months of age babies start the teething stage. This is similar to new borns sometimes. They start to drool and when you notice that they are drooling you should put a bib on them to stop any irritation that would be due to the wetness.

When you baby is able to grip a rattle they are old enough to hold a teething ring. It is a good idea to have a few in the fridge for when your baby starts to fuss. This can be considered the same as puppies most of the time. It is not a very great idea to freeze the teething ring because it could cause the babies gums to be frost bit.

Around the age of six to nine months the first tooth will appear. But if you or any of the siblings of your baby has had teeth come out at an earlier age your baby may also. When your baby’s teeth erupt they need to be cleaned. It is easy to clean your baby’s teeth using a washcloth or a soft toothbrush.

When your child has many teeth that have erupted you can begin to introduce flossing. When your child tries to floss it will teach them some fine motor skills. Studies done by the American Dental Association have proved that; tooth brushing alone only removes about forty percent of food that will stick to them. Of course this has nothing to do with a baby usually. Without this flossing daily cavities and nasty breath is sure to come quicker.

Children should see their dentist two times in a year. Your child should see their dentist when they are able to sit for as long as ten minutes. But this should be done by the time that they turn three.
