Is my baby girl getting to much fluoride, or is it just me?

Question

my daughters is 8 months old, and has 6 teeth. I was looking at them up close today and I noticed that they look a little blotchy.. is this normal in children? she isn't on fluoride yet.. she wasn't able to be seen at her 6 month check up, so we just got her shots.. but she will be getting the fluoride in a week or so.. anyway, i brush her teeth with infant tooth paste.... no fluoride in the tooth paste, and from what I hear there isn't fluoride in the water (tap water) what can be causing this? or is it normal for the teeth to look this way for a while?

I try to remember to brush her teeth twice a day, but sometimes my husband forgets, or i forget.. but they are always done at least once a day..

Answer 1

our ped dentist said not to "brush" until their 1 year old. only use a wet rag..or orajel make the little finger toothbrush you put on your finger. our son is 2 years and our dentist said to only brush once a day...at bedtime. in most tap water there is fluoride. her teeth sound extra clean...your doing a good job taking care of them...so they sound fine.
