Colgate also offers fun educational activities, as well as a brush chart, to help remind kids to brush their teeth in the morning and at night.

A beautiful smile helps in winning a million hearts. So in case you have a new-born baby, then take proper care of his teeth and help him in developing good dental hygiene habits. But this should actually begin before you can see your child's first tooth.
