After 1, we started trying after every meal (2x a day) but was ok with 2x a day. We noticed his teeth yellowing ever-so-slightly and I didn't want that starting too early! We also feed milk sometimes in MOTN even now at 20 months so we have to counteract that somehow... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toothpaste-do-you-use-for-your-baby#post-2776152 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 01:39:37 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2776152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: @Ina85: I use this toothpaste for my 2 year old. (It smells delicious!). I think it is sugar and sweetener free and that appealed to me. I asked the dentist at my appointment and was told we could just use that kind and we could just use water up until 1-1.5. I didn't realize they may have changed their formula-now I'll have to check my new tube too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toothpaste-do-you-use-for-your-baby#post-2776084 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 18:36:21 +0000 Ina85 2776084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you mamas for all the toothpaste info, I'll hold off a few months until she's 1 but at least now I have all these different choices to check out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toothpaste-do-you-use-for-your-baby#post-2776083 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 18:34:22 +0000 Ina85 2776083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pawprints: The strawberry toothpaste sounds so cute, thanks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toothpaste-do-you-use-for-your-baby#post-2776080 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 18:31:27 +0000 Ina85 2776080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sweetiepie: I've been wiping her terth/gums with a wet washcloth before bed, that's what my mom always said to do, so good to know.

Our dentist said not to worry about using a fluoridated paste until she's older. She's 2.5. Our water does have fluoride.</p> <p>[eta] I just ordered a new tube for her this morning and didn't even realize until I checked just now; the new one has fluoride - despite looking identical to the old tube that was fluoride-free. Oh well, we only use a grain-of-rice sized amount so I won't worry if she's swallowing that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toothpaste-do-you-use-for-your-baby#post-2775895 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 11:07:52 +0000 looch 2775895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No toothpaste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toothpaste-do-you-use-for-your-baby#post-2775885 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 10:48:35 +0000 Raspberry 2775885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also use Toms.

Prior to that my ped said to just wipe his teeth before bed with tooth wipes (Dr Brown makes some) or a wet washcloth. </p> <p>1-2years we used fluoride free orajel training toothpaste. Night time only. I had a round baby brush that was amazing because even if he just chewed on it, it had 360 degrees of bristles so it still brushed him. It was very easy to use. I think it was by Baby Buddy, the same brand of that Baby Banana Brush teether I told you about.</p> <p>Starting at 2 we used a regular kids toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste - honestly I just buy whatever brand has a character he likes - colgate or crest. Our dentist also said that as long as you use a small amount it doesn't matter what they swallow. She said pea sized is fine, I usually do 1/2 a pea to pea sized. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toothpaste-do-you-use-for-your-baby#post-2775750 Tue, 26 Sep 2017 20:30:48 +0000 KT326 2775750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do not have fluoridated water so we use a kids toothpaste with fluoride. Our dentist and pediatrician say to use as much as a grain of rice and it's fine for them to swallow it. It's easier than doing fluoride drops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toothpaste-do-you-use-for-your-baby#post-2775746 Tue, 26 Sep 2017 20:17:16 +0000 gingerbebe 2775746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used oral B training tooth gel until 1, then just a tiny bit of regular kids fluoride paste (like a grain of rice, per our dentist). We typically just brushed at night at that age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toothpaste-do-you-use-for-your-baby#post-2775741 Tue, 26 Sep 2017 20:11:10 +0000 Ina85 2775741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is 8 months old, has 4 teeth. She's still working on the top two, they broke through the gums at least, it was sad, she was not happy. When did you start brushing your lo's teeth and what toothpaste do you recommend? I'm a little concerned about how much toothpaste she'll swallow. Once you started brushing lo's teeth, did you do it in the morning and at night, or just at night? </p>
