DS1 hates teeth being brushed! HELP!

[lou100]

Any tips?? he just will NOT let me brush them, screams the place down and closes his mouth tight shut when i try to put the toothbrush in

How old is he, could you entice him with an electric one with his favourite character, allow him to choose which toothpaste, get a character timer to brush to. Threaten no sweet treats if doesn't brush. In answewr to your question there is nomagic way to do it some days they co-operate others they don't the thing you can control is their diet so ensure the amount and frequency of sugar is limited etc.

hes only 13 months so cant really threaten the no sweets thing he doesnt have much sugar in his diet anyway but im paranoid his teeth are gonna rot!
