    Ok, I admit I forget to brush their teeth more often than not... They only have a few still, and I'm using one of those finger brushes (one for both... I know, i'm a bad mommy). I want to get them their own baby toothbrush, but is it too early? So far they both seem to be ok with it.

    I use the Oral-B toddler toothbrushes-they have Disney characters on them. They are nice and soft and just the right size for a baby/toddler mouth.

    I use the Oral B toddler/ baby toothbrushes. Our dentist gave them to us. Works well and we use the Oral B baby toothpaste, the kiddos LOVE it. Of course, I am obsessive about my teeth, so maybe they get their love of brushing from dear old Mama!

    I got my girls their own toothbrushes but I still forget to brush them a lot of the time. And if I put any toothpaste on the brush then they don't want to let me brush either.

    I don't know when brushing teeth gets easier.

    I always thought toothpaste (even baby one) wasn't recommended until at least 1?

    My Ped says to use only water until they are 2. But I think Oral-B makes a toothpaste without Fluoride-It has Thomas the Train on it or Little Bear.

    We use a baby toothbrush (they share one), it has plastic bristles - and yes we forget to brush sometimes too. I try to remember it as a part of their bedtime routine, but we aren't always successful.

    We have toothbrushes by GUM they are parent brushes (they have extra long handles) and are for babies 6-24months. You can also use those spiffy things that go on your finger.

    Crap. Hadn't even thought about brushing their teeth yet! Well Elliot's anyway - he has 6 - Max - 0.
