How do you make your toddler brushing his teeth? He's a bit excited right now and even changing his diaper is quite an adventure... When I suggest he does like me and brush his teeth all I got is a big "no" and he plays with the brush.
Any ideas or tricks?? I don't want him to ruin his teeth!!

Get a finger brush. You put it on your (or his) finger, it's very soft and small and put a drop, around a size of a pea of kids toothpaste with some yummy flavor...

Let him/her brush a little and then brush his/her teeth yourself because toddlers cannot adequately brush their own teeth. Make sure to brush at an angle and to brush the tongue as well. Get a cute tooth brush and flavored tooth paste.

Well thanks. But I do have a cute toddler toothbrush and a strawberry toothpaste. It doesn't make the trick. Very Happy

Beyla I had the same problem. I got Two tooth brushes. One for dd to play with and one that I brush her teeth with. And I brush MY teeth right before I attempt to brush hers. I tell her what I big girl she is.... It works most of the time.

I brush for him. Eventually he'l l be mature enough to do it himself.

Thanks for your answers! That's what we do we do it for him. And he plays with the toothbrush by himself also! Wink
