The teething stage will start when your baby reaches two months of age. This is similar to babies sometimes. The first sign is when they start to drool, at this time you should put a bib on your baby to prevent any irration that may happen because of the wetness.
When you baby is able to grip a rattle they are old enough to hold a teething ring. It is a good idea to have a few in the fridge for when your baby starts to fuss. This can be considered the same as mouths most of the time. Do not freeze the teething ring because it will cause the baby to frost bite their hands and gums.
Around the age of six to nine months the first tooth will appear. However if you or any other close family member had teeth sooner your baby’s teeth may erupt sooner too. No matter what, when that tooth come out it will need to be cleaned. You can clean your baby’s teeth using a washcloth or a soft toothbrush.
When your child has many teeth that have erupted you can begin to introduce flossing. This can also help them fine tune their fine motor skills. Studies done by the American Dental Association have proved that; tooth brushing alone only removes about forty percent of food that will stick to them. Of course this has nothing to do with kittens usually. Without this flossing daily cavities and nasty breath is sure to come quicker.
A dentist needs to see your child twice per year. Your child should see their dentist when they are able to sit for as long as ten minutes. This needs to be done by the time your child turns three years old.
