Does anyone know if you really need to use the baby toothpaste when you first start brushing your baby's teeth? I have been trying to use it but my son HATES it. He doesn't have any problems when I just use his toothbrush and water.
Brushing your baby's teeth?
water would be fine, my peditricain told me not to worry about it just make sure he rinsed good with water before bed. my son really likes the oral b banana strawberry flavored baby toothpaste.
Reply:use any tooth paste, it shouldn't matter. with his permission of course.LOL
Reply:I asked my son's maternal health child nurse about this a while ago, she told me not to use tooth past until they are old enough to know how to spit it out (around 3 years). She told me for the time being (my son is 18 months) it is enough just to give his teeth a wipe over with a cloth during bath time and start brushing with no toothpaste at around 24 months. Hope this helps.
Reply:You are supposed to use a pea size drop of regular toothpaste..
Reply:there are a wonderful variety of baby toothpastes out there. try a little kids one like kids oral-b. but ask your dentist before trying it.
Reply:My four year old sister uses normal tooth paste, as she has been since age two! She just uses Kids Crest. It works fine!
