DD will not brush her teeth. It's never got better since toddler days and I'm exhausted by it tbh. Once in a blue moon she'll let me do it nicely or do a half decent job herself but mostly her teeth are grubby . I still have to hold her and brush quickly few times a week just to make sure they don't rot. Me and her brother both brush and floss without fuss.
I've tried various toothpaste, oranurse and the Lidl herby one work sometimes.
Disclosing tablets sometimes help.
She liked the electric toothbrush but broke that in a tantrum after a few days.
She likes the dentist, does anyone use a dentist for a teeth cleaning service? Desperate here. She's got so many behavioural issues but they can possibly be resolved in time, I can't mend ruined teeth.
