Your child won't keep his or her first teeth forever, but that doesn't mean those tiny pearly whites don't need conscientious care.
Maintaining your child's dental health now will provide health benefits well into adulthood, as primary (baby) teeth serve some extremely important functions.
For one thing, primary teeth serve as guides for the eruption of permanent (adult) teeth, holding the space into which these new teeth will erupt.
The crowns (tops) of the permanent teeth actually push against the roots of the baby teeth, causing them to resorb, or melt away.

A toothbrush with soft bristles and a small head, especially one designed for infants, is the best choice for infants.
