A seventeen month old baby is about to turn one and a half years old. At this time, the baby's baby teeth are sprouting a lot. Many seventeen month old babies have already started trying to brush their teeth with their parents. In order to protect their teeth, seventeen month old babies also need to brush their teeth. So how does a 17 month old baby brush their teeth with toothpaste?
In fact, babies need to start brushing their teeth when their baby teeth sprout at six months old. At that time, more attentive parents will use gauze to clean their baby's teeth well and ensure the cleanliness of their teeth. As the baby grows up day by day, their baby teeth gradually emerge, and they also need to brush their teeth in a timely manner to protect their baby teeth. When brushing teeth, babies also need a toothbrush and toothpaste, but babies who are just starting to brush their teeth often do not use toothpaste. Therefore, 17 month old babies can choose not to use toothpaste when brushing their teeth, but only use a toothbrush to play with their baby teeth.
Parents should not forcefully demand that their children brush their teeth. Parents can play a guiding role by always showing their children when brushing their teeth, so that they can learn from their parents. In fact, at this time, children's observation and imitation abilities are very strong. When children first brush their teeth, they do not need to use toothpaste. Even if they use toothpaste later, they must use a small amount, not more than the size of a soybean.
