Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

When did you start brushing DC's teeth?

I read that you should "brush" their gums with a wash cloth until they get teeth, but I don't do this.  DD still doesn't have any teeth.  Anyone "brush" their teeth before they got any?

  • i started when she finally got some.

  • DD has a Little Mermaid electric toothbrush.  She thinks it's so much fun that she begs us to brush her teeth.  We do it probably 5 times a week ever since she was 6 months old.  She has 16 teeth though, so it probably a little more crucial for us to really stay on top of toothbrushing.

  • I didn't start until she had a few, and I'm still not good at doing it regularly.  In my defense (Wink), DD started biting, hard.  So I do it a few times each week. 
  • I started with a finger brush at 4mos I believe when she got her first tooth. I didn't do the washcloth thing before hand.

  • She got her first teeth around 8 months old. I was really bad with brushing until the past few weeks. Embarrassed In my defense, she used to freak out and not let me do it until then . I do it for sure once a day, sometimes twice.
