Yes, brush his teeth. Little people breath can have a ordor. My daughters have their own toothbrush. If they have all gums there is something out there that you can use for gums only. There are toothpaste that is safe for them to swallow (you know he isn't going to spit it out.) I think the toothpaste is made by Oral B.

YES! You should have been brushing them LONG before now. Unless this is his first tooth or something. You should really be reading up and doing your research.. kids have MANY needs, they aren't just there to be cute!

YES! The recommendation is always to brush the gums right from the get go to get into the habit of brushing, but as soon as a tooth breaks through it is so important to be brushing it after each meal. Starchy foods love to cling to those pearly whites and it makes a great home for bacteria to live and grow and decay your child's teeth.

Yeah, go ahead and start. That way as your child grows they will always do it, it will become a habit for them. Buy some good tastin toothpaste and you shouldn’t have a problem. My son loved the taste of it and couldn’t wait till it was time to brush, lol … anyways, whatever works huh!!

Brushing a childs teeth should be started when they first come in. Doesn’t have to be with a tooth brush, you can take a wash cloth to the new teeth. With our kids we started rubbing their gums at 6 months with a wash cloth.

yes. I think the earlier the better. You dont want your kid to grow up being made fun of his or her teeth.
