As soon as your little one shows sign of their very first tooth we start thinking of teeth brushing and the dentist. As a matter of fact I started way before Madison got her first tooth, because I would use a soft wash cloth and wipe her gums. Once her tooth showed up around 5 months of age I got one of those silicone finger brushes and started our brushing routine.

"Brush your teeth, brush your teeth, brush your teeth until they shine. Brush them up and down, brush them all around, brush them until they shine." It not only teaches the correct way to brush but she just loves to hear when I
