Not looking forward to brushing her teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-thoroughly-do-you-brush-your-los-teeth#post-384046 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 14:26:17 +0000 Rubies 384046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG, it's been a struggle since day one. If I can even get the tooth brush INTO her mouth, then that is a success. I can get to her bottom teeth more than I can get to her top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-thoroughly-do-you-brush-your-los-teeth#post-383999 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 14:18:24 +0000 chopsuey 383999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: Yeah, my LO opens her mouth sometimes. Most of the time her mouth is shut and she's sucking on the brush trying to eat the yummy toothpaste. </p> <p>BRushing the front of her teeth is the biggest challenge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-thoroughly-do-you-brush-your-los-teeth#post-383886 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 13:56:36 +0000 Honeybee 383886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD brushes her own teeth and then we scrub her molars for a minute or so after she's done. I think her tooth brushing actually improved when we start letting her do it herself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-thoroughly-do-you-brush-your-los-teeth#post-383853 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 13:50:41 +0000 banana 383853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took a long time but we finally taught him to say "AHHHHH" the whole time we're brushing so I think we do a pretty thorough job, even though we brush really quickly. He didn't have any cavities during his recent dentist check up (1 month ago) so i think it's working? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-thoroughly-do-you-brush-your-los-teeth#post-383838 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 13:49:03 +0000 chopsuey 383838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some nights Lo fights us when we brush her teeth. -.-<br /> I wonder if 20-30 seconds of brushing does anything .. </p>
