ANS: D
Dental hygiene should be started early. Even before a child has teeth, the gums can be wiped with a damp cloth or gauze. Toothpaste cannot be used before age 2 (because of the risks associated with swallowing it). A dentist should examine a baby's teeth within 6 months of the eruption of the first tooth, but no later than the first birthday. Children should have all 20 primary teeth by the third birthday.
