Starting at birth, clean your child's gums with a soft infant toothbrush or a spiffie (pictured).
As soon as the teeth begin to appear, start brushing twice daily using fluoridated toothpaste and a soft age-appropriate sized toothbrush.
Use a "smear" (picture) of toothpaste to brush the teeth of a child less than two years of age.
For the 2-5 year old, dispense a pea-size (picture) amount of tooth paste.
Remember, it is certainly ok to let your child have a turn brushing, but the parent must follow-up to ensure a thorough job.

Throughout your life, you will have two sets of teeth: primary (baby) teeth and secondary (permanent) teeth.
At age 6-8 months, the primary teeth appear; all 20 are in place by age 3. Permanent teeth will begin to grow around age 6, and except for wisdom teeth, are all present between ages 12 and 14.
The next teeth to grow in are the 12-year molars and finally the wisdom teeth.
Wisdom teeth typically begin breaking through from age 17 and on.
The total number of permanent teeth is 32, though few people have room for all 32 teeth.
