Ok, truthfully, how well do you manage to brush your toddlers teeth/get your toddler to brush them? How often and for how long each time? And how do you go about it?
I tried doing the whole 'let's brush our teeth together and be really relaxed about it' thing and his teeth never got brushed. I tried doing it together and at the end trying to brush his. He clammed his mouth shut so tight there was no way in. So now we have the 'toothbrush monster' and it's a kind of game. He has a funny accent and says silly things and I manage about 20 seconds of brushing twice a day. I feel like he should be having them brushed for longer but he's rolling around in the floor pushing the brush away/giggling/crying...I need solutions! And I'd love to know how everyone else is doing it and for how long. He's only 19 months. Thank you!
