Cheryl has 4 teeth on the top and 2 below, and there are 2 cutting through on her lower gums too. I started getting her to brush her teeth because her breath in the morning was no longer as sweet as in the past.
Besides, I thought it was a good habit to start early. When she was younger, I was already brushing her gums so I figured brushing teeth was only natural. I do it when Cheryl is in the showers. I will tell her that I am preparing her toothbrush and I show her when I squeeze the toothpaste onto the brush. Then she will sit on my lap and open her mouth wide. She is patient enough to last the whole session of my brushing of her lower and upper teeth and then she will close her mouth tight with the toothbrush inside.
Then she will start sucking on the brush because the toothpaste is of banana and apple flavour. She has even learnt to rinse her mouth!
