Switched over to a real toothbrush at a year. You're doing good--I don't think we saw the dentist until 2.5! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-your-los-teeth-4#post-2613203 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 08:50:26 +0000 catomd00 2613203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: yeah that's my question, too especially if they're eating solids. I'd understanding maybe waiting if they were breastfed only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-your-los-teeth-4#post-2613192 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 08:38:45 +0000 birdofafeather 2613192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As soon as she got them, we brushed them with a banana baby toothbrush. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-your-los-teeth-4#post-2613190 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 08:37:59 +0000 catlady 2613190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine only got her first teeth at that age so it was probably around age 1. We didn't use a brush at first though, we just swiped them with a wet towel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-your-los-teeth-4#post-2613164 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 07:55:55 +0000 skipra 2613164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once the first tooth broke through.

Figured it was a good time to start once she actually had teeth and all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-your-los-teeth-4#post-2613128 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 05:19:03 +0000 ValentineMommy 2613128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once a bunch of teeth started erupting. He's 13m now and has 12 teeth, so we started early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-your-los-teeth-4#post-2613113 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 02:01:41 +0000 Pumuckl 2613113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: same thing, we start brushing with a real tooth brush and toothpaste as soon as teeth appear. That was 4m and 6m for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-your-los-teeth-4#post-2612945 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 17:37:29 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2612945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe around 7 months with water before naps and bed, but now she doesn't like it....perhaps it was overkill. I'm not doing it really anymore because she won't let me in her mouth anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-your-los-teeth-4#post-2612942 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 17:35:31 +0000 LindsayLou 2612942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started when she got her first tooth, so 6 months. It's part of her bedtime routine. She has 8 teeth now at 12 months, and we're starting to brush in the morning as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-your-los-teeth-4#post-2612931 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 17:08:03 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2612931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still need to improve our consistency, but around 14mos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-your-los-teeth-4#post-2612925 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 17:01:11 +0000 Alba4 2612925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-your-los-teeth-4#post-2612901 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 16:30:03 +0000 ykyegmama 2612901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started brushing when he had four teeth, around 6 months old. We started with one of the rubber toothbrushes that went over our finger. </p> <p>About a month ago, he became obsessed with toothbrushes, so we got him his own. He now brushes his teeth twice a day when mommy does! (He's 1 year old now). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-your-los-teeth-4#post-2612899 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 16:29:19 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2612899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We start brushing when the teeth erupt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-your-los-teeth-4#post-2612896 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 16:26:39 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2612896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9 months.

Oops! I gotta get on that stat! Especially since they are seeing the dentist on Wednesday. We have the dental insurance, might as well use it. </p>
