[quote=Anonymous]We were advised by our pediatrician to brush our 1-year old's teeth. Our DD has 10 teeth on the front. We bought the toddler toothbrush for her but she refuses to open her mouth. I also found the bristles to be a little too harsh and I worry about injuring her soft gums, while brushing. DH thinks it's too young to brush DD's teeth. How do parents deal with brushing teeth for such little ones? We let her drink water after each meal, which is the least we can do to "wash" her mouth. I also don't think children are able to grasp the concept of "gurgle and spit" at such as young age. [/quote]
