  As soon as teeth appear, you should be using brushing the teeth with an infant toothbrush and water. There are infant tooth paste which do not have fluoride; fluoride tooth paste is not recommended until the age of two/when the child can take direction to spit out the excess paste. Here's a link with some more information https://www.ada.org/2844.aspx

  I have a little plastic toothbrush that you put over your finger. I just brush his teeth with it every night. I was going to ask my pedi at the 9 month appt if a non flouride toothpaste is necessary right now, or just brushing them every night is sufficient. 

  Sept 2013 started TTC#2 (never got PP period so hoping for the first egg to drop)

  Jan 2014 - diagnosed POF (Premature Ovarian Failure) and told pregnancy not possible without egg donor because my ovaries would never function again with my hormone levels (FSH 136, LH 98.6, AMH <.03, estradiol 0, HCG 7) - using acupuncture, chiropractic care and TCM herbs / supplements

  March 11, 2014 ovulated despite every doctors prognosis!!!

  Oct 2014 hormones (FSH 48, Estradiol 89, HCG 1) not good, but heckuva lot better!

  
  

  Nov. 16, 2015 FET of single adopted 5AA embryo - BFN

  My LO just has her 2 bottom teeth. Right now I'm just using a wet wash cloth to wipe her teeth/gums. But I will probably look for an infant toothbrush in the near future so she can get used to the idea of brushing. I didn't know there was infant toothpaste. I thought you were just supposed to use water until 2 years old.
