ok so my dd is 9m3w and for a few weeks now shes had a little bit of tooth poking through.it has just dawned on me..bad bad bad... that i should be brushing it...

i bought a baby toothbrush ages ago so thats ok but do i just brush with water and just quickly? or is there some special stuff i need to buy? how many times a day? 2? etc etc

Hiya

You can buy special baby toothpaste. I tend to do DS at the end of the day as he doesn't have any milk during the night so prefer to brush away the food he's had in the day etc..

hth?

i would let her play around with it and let her get used to the feel of it in her mouth. i would just use water at first until she's a bit older. dd tells us to brush our teeth any time we've eaten anything
