DD is 19 months, and HATES having her teeth brushed. Things I've tried already: letting her play and chew the toothbrush to get used to the feeling, letting her brush herself, showing her how we brush our teeth, making a game of it, songs on YouTube, a soft squishy brush from BrushBaby, fruity toothpaste, distracting her with toys/TV, holding her on our laps. She just won't have it, she screams and cries like we're sawing her arm off and I hate seeing her so distressed but I've noticed two of her top front teeth looking yellow and can't let them just rot out. What should we do????
