When to start

We got a dentist appointment when Tyrell was about 8 months old....Weird aye.

I rang to say Tyrell was only 8 months with only a couple of teeth. They said it is quite "normal" in AKL. She went on to talk about the care of his teeth. She said use a soft cloth like muslin or the likes then proceed to a tooth brush. She advised the best time is at night for such a young age.
I said we were already doing it with a brush in the morning. (No worries)

She said to use toothpaste every other day if not every 3rd day. But this is when he had a few teeth and it is the baby paste from the supermarket.

We have no probs brushing his teeth unless he is teething and his mouth hurts. he tends to watch us a lot when we brush our teeth....he thinks it is fun

Hehe Jaxon has 7 teeth and 2 more coming through and my plunket nurse says to use a cloth and if I can a toothbrush with babies toothpaste on it. She did say somethgn about the babies toothpaste not having enough fluroide in it so to use a tiny tiny bit of adult but Ive just stuck to the babies, hehe.

Also Jaxon hates the toothbrush but could be because he is teething and he just chews the bristles really  hard. You can hear them grinding.

And yeh when I try to wipe with a cloth he just bites. Ouch!!!!

I do worry he is not getting his teeth cleaned correctly.
