My daughter is five and I still more or less brushing her teeth for her because when she does it and I watch her she really just playing around.   How can I really get her to brush her teeth right.  She does not put of a fuss about burshing she just does not do it right.   Am I pushing her too soon?  She is five but I hear that some kids brush on their own much sooner.  Advise please.

My eight month old son just started cutting his teeth.  I have been wiping them down after each feeding but I am not sure when I would start brushing them.  When do I start using a tooth brush?  At what age are you able to use toothpaste?  Any helpful tips about about baby teeth care would be nice thanks.
