you can get a first toothbrush and just use a tiny bit of toothpaste
it's just to get her sed to the idea so don't worry too much
we started with once a day and then increased to twice a day when the dcs got some more teeth I think

with a baby toothbrush and a tiny blob of baby toothpaste.

Do it twice/three times a day, and she will get into a good habit of brushing her teeth regularly.

congratulations, tis fab when they get teeth for the first time (but they are sharp, so watch your fingers )

I think the advice is not to use baby toothpaste, just use your normal family toothpaste, but a tiny tiny bit. Something to do with the lack of floride or something like that.

Interested in this thread?
