Walter Reed dentists encourage parents to start brushing their children's teeth with a "smear" of fluoridated toothpaste as soon as the first tooth erupts. According to Dr. Clayton Cheung, a pediatric dentist at Walter Reed, children should brush their teeth twice a day for at least two minutes for each brushing under adult supervision. “Adults should always check to make sure the brushing was effective,” he shared.
