You should take your child to a dentist when the child’s first tooth starts appearing. In general, they should have a dental visit before their first birthday.

What is the significance of baby teeth when they soon come out anyway? >

When children have their baby teeth, they can chew, speak clearly, and keep space open for their adult molars. If you forget about them, this may cause tenderness, infections, and misaligned adult teeth.

Which method works best for cleaning my kid’s teeth? >

Take a moist cloth and wipe your baby’s gums gently. As and when teeth appear completely, brush them with a toothbrush with a very thin layer of toothpaste. Monitor your child’s brushing until the age of 6 or 7.
