Brushing my one year olds teeth?

Question

My daughter just turned one and she has 8 teeth...7 in the front and 1 in the back. I have been brushing her teeth with the infant tooth brush...the one you put on your finger and stick in there mouths...I got it out of a infant oral care kit and it also came with a teether, regualr tooth brush, and an insizer tooth brush. Is it time to start using the insizer tooth brush or can i go to the regualr tooth brush?? i dont know what the insizer one will do, its just 4 hard rubber brisels instead of a normal tooth brush. what r 4 rubber brisels going to do.

Answer 1

At a year old I started giving my kids a rechargeable toothbrush (Oral B Braun something or other)



Both kids will run around the house brushing their teeth for at least 5-10 minutes on a daily basis!

Answer 2

I would use a regular toothbrush. My daughter only has two teeth and we brush them when she wakes up and during bath time. They have toothbrushes specifically for 1-2yr olds. And orajel has toothpaste for gums and teeth which is safe to swallow and my daughter LOVES the taste!

Answer 3

You can use the regular one..However, just from my own experience..my son HATES it, but does not mind if i use the baby one that you stick on your finger prob because that is just what he is used to...he has 7 in front and 2 in back...so good luck
