WDYT?

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

As of Jan 1, 2010 all the daycares in our state are being required to brush kids teeth if they are there for more than 3 hours a day. If its an infant with no teeth then their gums are to be wiped with a damp cloth.

Sam & Jake each have 2 teeth. We'll need to get them extra toothbrushes to keep at daycare starting next week. I guess it'll force us to be better about brushing their teeth too if we make it part of the routine. But I still think its a bit strange for their teachers to be doing this too.

    As long as I knew that whatever they were putting in her mouth was clean, then I'd be okay with it.  But I do think it's a little strange.

    I think it's a great idea....but 3 hours?  I think it would make more sense if the requirement is if the child is there for a meal and do the brushing afterward.

    Too many kids (or umm parents) have slacked in brushing their teeth...maybe this will help some kids.

    WTF? We have to legislate tooth brushing now?
