I've got a 15mth old who clamps his mouth shut when i try to brush teeth. i'm torn between letting it go and just let him chew on the toothbrush himself (which is pretty ineffective in terms of oral hygiene!!) or persevering and having a screaming angry toddler on my hands... any tips for making this chore a little easier??? Does it really matter at this age??

Aha, hadn't thought of that. Ouch. He already has a big bite on his own finger - doh!
