Steps:

(1) Prepare boiled water - hot water can be used in winter, but the water temperature should not be too high.

(2) Wet and dry the gauze.

(3) Put the wet gauze on the index finger.

(4) Use wet gauze to clean the milk residue in your baby's mouth.

(5) When cleaning, special attention should be paid to the gums, tongue and other parts where milk residue is easy to remain, but if it is not cleaned, it is not necessary to use too much force, so as not to cause baby deglutition difficulty due to peeling.

Cleaning time after children grow teeth: after each meal.

At the beginning, it's best to do it in a relaxed environment and in the way of games, so that children can brush their teeth. For children over 6 years old, their parents can start to teach them how to brush their teeth in the bathroom looking in the mirror.

The correct way to brush teeth is to keep the handle level and put the bristles at the junction of teeth and tooth age at an angle of 45 degrees (you can massage the gums) to clean the food residue at the junction of teeth and gums. When brushing the upper row of teeth, the bristles are upward; When brushing the lower row of teeth, the bristles are downward.
