"One thing that parents should keep mind is that main brushing is a joyful right to your baby, never should be like a punishment. the other thing that usually comes into the parents mind is whether they should use the toothpaste on the brush or should not be used. That the toothpaste should be not used. According to the American Dental Association the peanut size of the toothpaste can be used on a baby on your babies brush and your baby should always be encouraged to spit it out. Always encourage your baby to just spit it out never to ingest that. If ingested really, over the longer period of duration it may ultimately desert in the modeling of the vomiting and that to of the upper interiors which is very isostatic and may give psychological trauma to your child. According to a story the babies under two years of age who use the dental devices have l1 and 4 increased chances of modeling as to compared to the babies under two years of age who don't use dental devices. But again the dental devices have to be used for proper cleaning of your child's mouth. There are other disease like that of the dental decay or parietal diseases. According to a study in India by the India dental Association , more than half of the five year olds are suffering from dental tooth decay so a proper oral hygiene has to be maintained right from the first tooth eruption to avoid cavities."
