Brushing LO's Teeth

CateOfChicago · November 2014

How often are you doing it? How does LO react?

Our pediatrician said water is probably best for this age. He said around 15 months we could try non fluoride toothpaste.

I use Spiffies wipes and she tries to suck on them the whole time. She doesn't like the toothbrush at all.

We use the orajel toddler toothpaste. Fluoride and sugar free. Just with a baby soft bristle toothbrush. DD loves having her teeth brushed.

We brush them in the morning and right before bed.

Orajel starter set. He loves it. He won't open his mouth to let me see but he opens it to let the toothbrush in. I try to do it once a day but I suck at remembering. We do it when he gets a bath so about every other night or so.

We use orajel. I let her chew on the brush while I brush my teeth in the am and then I a rub her teeth a little for her. She's into do things herself so she gets pusses when I help.

We use Colgate kids, strawberry flavor. We had the orajel, non-fluoride kind, but our dentist also said they recommend fluoride this young. They said only do a tiny smear on the brush since it's inevitable they'll swallow some, but otherwise it won't hurt. We do morning and night and she likes it. When she sees me get the brush ready, she opens her mouth for it!

I use baby orajel & brush in the morning & night. He was really good about it but just recently started fighting me about it. He'll do it himself a little if I let him have the toothbrush while I brush mine but he mainly likes to chew on it.

Just water here and I don't brush them. I let her hold the brush every morning while I brush my teeth. She sometimes gets the 'brushing' and sometimes it's just chewing or sucking on the toothbrush. But DD doesn't let me touch her mouth without a serious fight so my brushing her teeth would never work for us.
