Q. Should I be brushing my babies teeth even before she has any?
Dr. Zibners' Answer:
I know this sounds ridiculous, but yes. I don’t mean you really have to brush what doesn’t yet exist but it is a good idea to start from the very beginning with gently cleaning the gums. You can buy special wipes or a little gum brush that fits on your finger and gently wipe her little gums, lips and tongue best you can at least once a day. I usually do it at bathtime and I can usually get most of her gums but my success generally stops there. At least I’m trying.

"WHAT I LIKED: This book is written in a funny, down to earth way that doesn't make you feel like an idiot. I really would have appreciated something like this when my kids were really little and I freaked out over everything they put in their mouths. It has a scenario/question and answer format, with clear answers on when not to panic and when to call 911."
