How can I teach my child to swallow a pill? Some children as young as age 3 or 4 can swallow a pill, while some teenagers still can't accomplish the task! When your child is ready to try, have him practice with something small and hard-coated, like Tic Tac breath mints. Here's how: With a mouthful of water, have your child look up at the ceiling.
Until your child is 1 year old, you can use a wet washcloth or gauze to clean your babyâs teeth and gums. Start using a soft baby toothbrush and a small dab of toothpaste that does not have fluoride in it when your baby is between 1 year and 18 months old. (This type of toothpaste is safe for your baby to swallow.)
