S/O Teeth

When do we need to start brushing? I guess I should ask my pedi or dentist but I thought Dr. Bump might have the right answer.

  • My pedi said to wipe down with a finger brush and some water before better.  She said there no reason to use toothpaste yet.

    This is what my dentist said too. He gave me a little teeny tooth brush to start practicing with her. I really need to do that.

  • My pedi said to give her a little toothbrush and let her practice tooth-brushing when her first tooth comes in and not to worry about toothpaste.

  • We brush now. Jay thinks it is fun and loves his tooth brush. SIL didn't start until shortly after her LO's first birthday. I would ask your pedi and get his/her recomendation. But if you want to start now you can.
  • We were told we can start practicing now, but we can wait until 1 year.  I got him a little toothbrush and toothpaste set for his stocking for Christmas, so we will probably start soon after Christmas.
