Teeth Cleaning!!

[beth1234]

Hey all,
Im having such problems getting my 2 year old to brush his teeth!! He only turned 2 in july & he's a young 2.. But he understands what i'm sayin and can talk and that.. But anyhow,
I usually have to pin him down to brish his teeth (cruel yes, but id rather have him cry for 10 seconds than him walk around with unhealthy teeth) and last nite i heard him say ''mum..please!'' and it broke me heart so i stopped. I tried to let him do it himself this mornin but he just chews on his toothbrush!!
Iv tried everythin, even brushin my own at the same time as him.. Nothin works! Hes never liked it.

So was just wodering how all of you found teeth cleaning? And any tips??

The only way I can clean my little boys teeth is if I let him brush my teeth at the same time...

I have a spare toothbrush and I brush AJ's and he brushes whichever teddy is favourate!
We also sing...this is the way we brush our teeth, ................., before we go to bed! (To the Mulbury bush tune)

We also did the whole, brush your teeth and get a sticker.

Its much easier to get him to brush his teeth now
