Question about brushing teeth...

Hi there, quick question for anybody... my ds is 19 months old and I'm having a real job getting him to brush his teeth. I've tried letting him have control himself, doing it at the same time as I do mine, letting him do mine and 'my way or the highway' last of all. Nothing works, he's hysterical. I think he quite likes the taste, but just hates me doing it. Any ideas or inspiration before his little pegs drop out? Thanks!

Have you tried brushing them in front of a mirror? Brushing teddy's teeth first?

No, I haven't tried those, thanks very much! [SMILE]
