Although many think that oral cleaning in babies should start once the teeth come out, it is not, because you have to be very careful before to prevent bacteria that harm your health.
The lack of oral cleaning in minors must be very thorough since if dirt is allowed to accumulate it is possible that they will adhere to the enamel of their first teeth.
Another reason to be careful with the cleanliness of your mouth is to avoid bad breath or halitosis caused by food and milk remains.
How can I clean my baby’s mouth?
It is recommended to do it with a clean gauze, which is moistened with boiled water, wraps the index finger and goes through the gums of the little ones, as well as the palate and tongue in a soft way so as not to hurt them.
If your baby cries it may be normal because he is not used to it, but if you do it frequently he will certainly adapt and understand that it is part of his daily routine.
Remember that this tip is only a help since you should not miss your visits to the dentist for a periodic review.
