My teeth

Keeping your toddler's teeth cleanKeeping your toddler's teeth clean and healthy is really important, particularly as they have got to last until their permanent teeth come through, usually from age six onwards. The molars that come through in the second year of teething will stay the longest. Learning to brush his own teeth is a big step in self care and a skill to encourage over the next few months, but he will still need you to give them a good going over after he has had his turn. It will be some time yet before he can brush his teeth competently.
