Brushing teeth

[maybebaby]

Austin now has two little teeth, should I be brushing them? Do I just get a normal 0-2 years toothbrush? And do I use toothpaste?

My HV said you should brush them as soon as they come through.

She gave me a tiny little toothbrush but i ussume a 0-2 toothbrush will be ok.

Plus she also said that you dont need to use toothpaste at first, just use water and get them used to the motion of brushing. when you do start brushing use a tiny tiny little bit of toothpaste at a time .

u can buy these little tooth brushes that look like a finger puppet and go over your finger. its made of latex i think, feels very soft and gentle on gums. i find the real tooth brushes a bit hard for babies when they have only the odd tooth

Do you know where you can get these from? It sounds better than a normal toothbrush to start off.
