    But her top teeth are starting to look a little yellow.
    .
    I noticed my DD are looking a little yellow too, we brush her teeth at least 3 times a day and try to make sure we do a good job of it, she doesn't always co operate.
    I thought it might be because DD is breastfed to sleep so the sugar in the milk was causing damage.
    I am goint to cut down on the rice crackers and start giving her raw carrot and celery instead .... we do fruit too but I think hard raw foods might work a bit like a bone does for a dog

    Olive - Thanks for the cheese tip. DD loves her cheese!

    NaeNae - Thats a good idea about raw hard vegies too. I think apple is supposed to be good, but I'm not sure about the acidity.

    Thanks everyone. Dental issues run in my family (my brother needed a root canal at 22 and my dad had already lost a tooth to decay by 40). It doesn't matter what I do I seem to need fillings every time I go to the dentist. I just hope DD inherits her father's teeth. He very rarely brushes his (gross I know) and has no issues whatsoever. I just want to make sure I'm doing what I can to help her develop good dental hygiene.
