The first 12 months of a baby’s life is filled with milestones: the day they come home from the hospital, their first smile, the first time they roll over and begin to crawl. Another memorable milestone is when that first baby tooth appears! Teething can be a trying time for an infant, and as a parent, you may have to deal with a fair share of baby drool and tempter-tantrums as your child’s smile develops. However, even if your baby is a bit fussy during teething, it is important to start them on a path of good oral hygiene by brushing their teeth – or even just that first tooth – twice every day.
