| Chew on the toothbrush? After I brush Khloe's teeth...I let her chew on the toothbrush. I hold the other end, I don't want her jamming it down her throat. Does anyone else do that? |

| that's exactly how I brush Uni's teeth. I let her brush herself! Just make sure she isn't eating the plastic if she is chewing bits off. Uni ate a bunch of bristles once and that made for a very interesting poop!

| I worry about Sass eating the bristles and I have such a hard time even getting a toothbrush in her little mouth. I use the dental pads. They are moist pads that I wrap around my finger and rub on her teeth.

☺Farrah☺ Donating Member | I let Farrah chew on a childs toothbrush. Usually the ones the kids get at the bi-annual cleanings. It is one of her favorite "toys".

| I use a baby toothbrush with a tiny bit of toothpaste and no chewing aloud. I tell her "lets brush teeth" after I've brushed mine, and repeat "brush teeth, good girl" the entire time while I brush hers. We do it at bedtime so she is getting use to it.
