My ds has now taken to fighting, clawing, hitting etc. when having teeth brushed. I have tried everything, from flashing, character, music playing toothbrushes. I give him a warning etc. even tell him that dragons love having their teeth cleaned (he is into dragons at the moment), him having a brush and me having a brush, brushing our teeth together, even down to the "tooth fairy" leaving a present (a car, small ball, cheap book) etc. if we successfully brush teeth. But he is just getting worse. It has got to the stage that if I am having to hold down his hands and forcably brush his teeth, which feels like child abuse to me; I am so scared that he will get holes etc. He generally eats healthly, but does drink very very diluted squash which I know can be bad for teeth. Please help as I am hating this. Also it is only me so no help on hand at brushing times. Your tips/bribes/advise/or just general understanding would be great.
