Yes, buy the milkteeth toothpaste (avoid the ghastly flavours) and a baby toothbrush.

As mrs said just go get dd used to it.

mrsmiawallace · 19/11/2004 22:43

pink flashing toothbrush from tesco £1.99 although i think i was more impressed than dd!!

Aw bless. I love the two-peg look! I brush DS's two - he's getting two more now and I'm glad he's used to the brush! We've been brushing his top gum as well, so he knows what to expect when the others are through. He's quite a bit younger than your DD though (half the age, in fact!), so no flashing brush for him yet, but that sounds like a good plan!

We brush morning and night.

I brushed ds's teeth from when the first arrived. Your dd is having normal food and drink so will need to be brushed!
