Is a 1.5-year-old baby supposed to brush their teeth every day?

Patient's question:

What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Do babies who are one and a half years old need to brush their teeth every day?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Generally speaking, it is necessary to brush teeth as long as there are teeth. Because when eating, food residues are inevitable to stay on the teeth. Over time, this can damage the baby's teeth. Moreover, when food residues ferment, they produce bacteria, which is also harmful to the baby's body. Children's bodies have weaker resistance, so they are prone to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take the child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and symptomatic treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
