We use toothpaste, but don't rinse. It's banana flavor, so she licks it off anyway. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brushing-teeth-do-you-rinse#post-1361037 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 10:21:02 +0000 Mrsbells 1361037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we dont rinse. she is 21 months old and doesnt know how to spit out yet. we use babyganics baby gel which is safe to be swallowed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brushing-teeth-do-you-rinse#post-1360991 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 09:59:18 +0000 autumnlove 1360991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wipe with a little cloth if I'm motivated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brushing-teeth-do-you-rinse#post-1360987 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 09:58:55 +0000 mamimami 1360987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't start rinsing until we were ready to transition to fluoride toothpaste... so started practicing spitting around 2.5 and now at 3 he uses fluoride toothpaste and spits. Rinsing, not so much. But we try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brushing-teeth-do-you-rinse#post-1360982 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 09:57:34 +0000 mrsjyw 1360982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we use water and do a rinse brush if we remember! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brushing-teeth-do-you-rinse#post-1360974 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 09:55:50 +0000 sorrycharlie 1360974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only use water (no toothpaste) right now (16 months). I hope yellowbird spots this thread!

Not sure if it helps or not...we will be going to the dentist soon! (DS is 15 months) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brushing-teeth-do-you-rinse#post-1360912 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 09:31:16 +0000 littlebug 1360912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just started brushing D's teeth. We're using one of the "first toothpastes," you know, without flouride. But do you rinse after you finish brushing their teeth? I mean, he's a year old, so he clearly won't get it if we tell him to spit it out. Do you just let it go? Do you give him a sip of water? This is probably a stupid question but I'm confused! </p>
