Feeding:Brushing teeth
2002-09-02
Name: PA



I am really worried... my son is 23 months old and i have still not started brushing his teeth, the reason being he is not ready for it yet. He has all his teeth but i am sure he will swallow the tooth paste or will not co-opeate with gargle etc. I am scared and so have still not started with brushing.

What is the right age for brushing childs teeth? Please could someone help me out.

My son is one year with 4 teeth. I have already started brushing his teeth twice a day. I use the toothpaste for babies which is safe to swallow and I use finger brush, it is very soft.
Good Luck
Neetu

Dear PA,

You needn't be scared that yr baby will swallow the paste ,etc. Try to get one of the musical brushes so that yr child will be excited to slowly start brushing. In the meantime, please see that you massage his teeth and gums with yr finger atleast twice a day so that he doesn't rot his teeth.
All the best, though it will be a bit difficult in the start it will definitely sort out. Use children toothpaste coz that is safe for children.

Regards,
Indu.
