1-year-old baby toothbrush?
⚡ Short answer: For 1-year-olds, use a soft-bristled, small-headed toothbrush that fits in your baby's mouth; focus on these features rather than brand.

1-year-old baby toothbrush? Everyone around me says something different.

Choosing a first toothbrush at 1 year can be confusing, and you're right to ask. The best one for this age has soft bristles, small head (about fingertip-sized), and thick handle your baby can grip easily. Silicone finger brushes are good for first teeth, but by 1 year, switching to a nylon-bristled brush is usually more effective.
For toothpaste: pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste is okay to use. Baby toothpastes sold in Turkey for 0-3 years usually have safe fluoride levels. If you're worried about swallowing, that small amount won't cause harm.
In a nutshell, focus on these two features (soft bristles + small head) rather than brand. Many pediatricians recommend the first dental checkup around 1 year — visiting a pediatric dentist (pedodontist) can ease your mind.
