As a parent one should try to do things right, since your kid will be learning everything from you only. Brushing baby teeth is one of the major daily things that are done in the wrongful manner by the parents. Baby teeth and gums are delicate; they need proper care and attention. You just cannot brush them like that you do every day. 

Do not use hard bristled brush on baby teeth. These bristles can cause rashes on the gums or harm the enamel of the baby teeth. The milk teeth are very gentle and you should clean them with soft bristled brush only. Instead of cleaning, those in forward backward manner do it in round strokes.  Round strokes help in massaging the gums and cleaning them properly, without rubbing the gums surface. While brushing baby teeth one must do it gently. Do not make it a 10-second affair as you do with your dentals. 

Babies are much gentler; hence, one must brush baby teeth with utmost care.
