I can't efficiently brush my 12m toddlers two bottom teeth. she always sticks her tongue out to lick the toothbrush and i can't get to them.

Teeth brushing: If your daughter only has front teeth, you can try an "over the finger" tooth brush instead of 1 with a handle. It fits over your index finger and can be just as effective. You should be able to maneuver around her lower lip better with this type of brush. When she has her molars, however, it will be better to use the toothbrush you are using now.
