Wipe Away Baby Decay
Baby teeth are just as susceptible to decay as adult teeth. Remember to "brush" your infant's teeth by wiping the teeth and gums after feedings with a damp washcloth or gauze pad to remove harmful bacteria that cause plaque and decay.

It is important to keep the baby teeth healthy as they are the foundation for permanent teeth.
