Hi mommies - here's another handy poll.

1. When did you start using toothpaste on the little one's teeth? (AGE)

2. Which brand did you use? (NAME)

Thanks!

My twins were about 18 months when we finally started using toothpaste I started earlier with my 3rd at 15 months.

2. Which brand did you use? (NAME)

I use the Orajel Toddler Training toothpaste.

Age: 8 months

Brand: Pre-step

We started early since my little one already has 8 teeth and the dentist told us to start brushing his teeth.

Not sure if it counts as toothpaste, but we've been using Gerber Tooth and Gum cleanser since 8 months. Bear in mind that Zoey has had 8 teeth (4 top, 4 bottom) since 8 months.

in terms of brushing without toothpaste we started at 6 months with just the toothbrush and water. Then around 8 months with the tooth and gum cleanser and then at 13 moms with the flouride free "toddler toothpaste" b/c Katelyn had all her teeth by then.

Rather than purchasing a baby toothpaste, I am using a flouride-free and chemical free toothpaste that I purchased at the health store, called, Hakeem Herbal. I started brushing my daughter's teeth at about 10 months old as she had about 3 teeth at that age.
