Brushing teeth

When did you all start to brush your LO'S milk teeth?

As soon as the first one came through. And, I might add, with difficulty.

As soon as the first one came through. It's not very easy, but now If I give Isaac the toothbrush he helps me brush his teethies. =]

We got a row from the HV for not brushing her teeth last week.

Oops. So she now has a toothbrush and is going to the dentist for the first time next week!!!!

God they go to the dentist this early too? I had no idea. How do you rinse their mouth after or do you just leave it?

No need to rinse their mouth apparently, don't know why though - maybe just because brushing the teeth is enough of a challenge?!

I brush Matthew's teeth with his little baby toothbrush. No toothpaste though on advice form our dentist not to use it until he was older just some water and toothbrush! He gets 6 monthly checkup's (next one is November!)

I am never this organised mind you

When he got his first tooth at about 5 months. And luckily, he loves havin his pegs brushed - except now he bites the toothbrush and wont let me have it back!
