Our baby is 10 mths old and four teeth has emerged. Could you please tell us if we need to brush his teeth as we feel it smells?

Yes you can brush his teeth but avoid using toothpaste for now as babies haven't learned to spit. Concentrate on cleaning his tongue as that is where smell usually comes from.

Yes, you do need to clean the baby's teeth with a soft clean piece if cloth or gauze. Discard the cloth or gauze piece after single use. Tooth brushing can be started as soon as child is a little older (1 year) with help from parents.

Yes you should clean his baby teeth as well. And best way to do it to take a muslin cloth or you can take any soft cloth. Roll it in your first finger and dip this cloth in warm water and start cleaning his teeth, cheeks, gums, tongue. You should do this every time you feed your baby and specially when he is sleeping. If you don't take good care of your cleaning then this will lead to many tooth infection problems and deterioration of your child's teeth.
