Has anyone switched over from a finger brush to a real toothbrush yet? Tristan really does not like the finger brush! Dh has to hold him and pry his teeth apart so I can get my finger in there! I'm thinking we'll move to a real toothbrush soon!

I havent switched yet but Im having the same problem. lucky for me Linc only has two teeth so I dont have to much work. I also use a wash cloth to get his gums and it's a bit easier. I have a tooth brush for him and I have let him play with it to see what he does but he had no intrest. I have been thinking of getting it back out.

Do you use the cleaning gel / toothpaste? I just use water right now.

I use a little bit of Kimmies kid tooth paste to try to bribe him to open his mouth!

We use a real toothbrush and Xavier loves my sonic toothbrush so sometimes I let him use that too.
