At the moment we have to pin him down (well swaddle him with a towel) and then try and make him laugh to open his mouth so we can very quickly clean his teeth (which then turns to tears). Not an ideal situation I am sure you would all agree. We have tried brushing our teeth at the same time, we have tried giving him the brush to do it himself, I read on here once that a poster uses the cat as a demonstration tool but we don't have a cat.
So. Please give your sage advice on how to make a very reluctant 16month old want his teeth to be brushed....
thanks.
