Hi Stevie
My daughter is nearly 8 months. We have just been rubbing her teeth (she has 6) with a cloth, as its gentle and doesnt scare her. She not liking the cloth anymore so we have just started giving her a toothbrush to play with in the bath. She puts it in her mouth and bites down on it. I figure this is a better way to introduce it, as I don't want to force her into it and scare her, that way teethbrushing will become a fear for her and a chore for us. I also think that I would rather she got used to the brush gently now, and as she gets older we may have more chance of doing it correctly then, than her fearing it and not being able to do it at all. I know how you feel, My teeth arent good (lots of fillings for me), so I definately want my daughter brushing her teeth. I think the damage to my teeth came more when I was eating lollies as a child and not brushing my teeth correctly.
Goodluck :)
