Electric toothbrush: At one year of age you baby may not have her full set of teeth. Using an electric toothbrush may cause undue pain to the child and the vigorous vibrations may be harmful to the tooth enamel.

Not a good idea: Your child really doesn't have the eye-hand coordination to brush properly until about age 5-6. Until then you should be doing it for her. Please take her asap to a pediatric dental specialist for age-appropriate oral hygiene instructions, diet/fluoride/sugar advice, jaw and tooth development evaluation, a thorough examination, and for your child to bond w the specialist. Don't wait until age 2.
