We got Peeper this electric toothbrush after we spotted the cavities, and she loves it. Now, if she'd just get a little better about letting me have a turn when she's done, we might actually get her teeth clean.
We use the non-flouridated toddler paste. The dentist recommended against flouridated paste at this age, because they tend to swallow so much of it. (We do have flouridated water.)
Thank you! Simone refuses the toothbrush if it has anything on it but water, so I'm going to check out some kids' pastes. Good to know about the flouride. We haven't been to the dentist yet.
I'm just your typical lesbian who met, fell in love with and moved half way across the country to be with the woman of my dreams, writing about life, love and - holy cow - parenting!
Are you using any kind of paste with her yet?
