16mo bad breath and teeth cleaning

3 replies

I've noticed my 16mo has bad breath. I don't notice it every day but have noticed it quite a bit. We do clean his teeth every morning and every night but he doesn't like it and just bites on to the toothbrush (any tips on how to get him to just let it happen properly?). He sucks his thumb a lot so I'm wondering if the excess saliva also doesn't help? He is also currently teething but wouldn't see how that would create bad breath. Any thoughts?

We have to watch a short cocomelon video on YouTube so they sit still and let us brush their teeth

DS likes to press an imaginary button on his toothbrush (to power it up) and then we make Pew Pew! noises to get all the sugar bugs. Also he loves the hoover so sometimes its same thing with hoover noises. Every now and then its car noises/Ricky Zoom cleaning his teeth. Whatever works!! Grin
