it so difficult for me to brush my little one teeth

[firu]

our sisters start brushing for them self. if one is doing something the other follows. now no difficulties in this

I make sure to give my little one apples to eat - which i believe naturally cleans their teeth.  Celery is good too.

Plus of course, trying to brush with electic and manual toothbrush and damp cloth.

I use a brush which has music.  This music plays for 2 mins. My son likes it now.

We saw this little girl (about 5) who had only 1 or 2 crooked teeth and lost all the others. Whenever my son refuses to brush his teeth, all I have to say is "remember that girl with no teeth?"

We also visited this museum which had a huge mouth (a whole class of kids can sit on it). He saw up and close what a rotten tooth looks like. We are not trying to scare him, but we always tell him there are consequences to his choices.

getting a baby turning toddler to brush his teeth can be difficult. he wants to do it himself but plays around with the brush in his mouth. i dont think his teeth get brushed and then i take the brush and he lets me brush for approximately 2 secs.
im going to try the wipes.
musical brush seems fascinating. maybe that will help

does any one have problems with the little ones while trying to brush their teeths...
the little one bites on the toothbrush and won't let go?
sometimes he bite so hard i fear his teeth will get damage

I had a hard time with tooth brushing as well. Now we have agreed that I start and after I am done and she spits out the paste she may brush by herself and rinse after.

Dear All,

I have recently called my dentist's office with this very same question.  The dental hygienist suggested an electric toothbrush.  However, our SoniCare toothbrush is too powerful for our 19 month old twins.

Several people have mentioned a musical electric toothbrush - where would I get two of these from?  I live in the Northeast region of America.

Thanks.
Ayesha

I always let my children watch me brush first and and then I let them take a turn and help me brush my teeth then we reverse the roles.  I let them have a turn brushing thier own teeth and then I get a turn to brush thiers.  I always stopped when they started protesting.  I hope this helps.

what helps in my case is that I let her first do it herslef "like a big Girl" and I ask if mom can help her.

My son is 14 month old at the moment and his teeth is almost complete...  whn he was 8months he already have 8 teeth...  eversince he was a moth old i was already cleaning his tongue and his gums...  when his about to complete his teeth when he was 10 months old i started to brush his teeth  ith a bristle and pigeon brand tooth paste for toddlers...  before i started brushing his own teeth i would always face him as i brush my teeth and sing him a song...

brush brush brush three times a day
brush brush brush, brush cavities away
brush brush brush, brush with pigeon (brand of his toothpaste) 

the original song was from the ads of colgate for kids...

and everytime he saw me brushing... he would make an action that he was brushing too, thats the time i realize the he is ready for brushing...

now, we let him brush his teeth alone... and he enjoys it so much...

really?my daughter is now 15 months old  and i haven't started brushing her teeth, she has eight teeth right now. but my problem is she doesnt want me to brush her teeth, i just don't know what to do..

my son is 11 months old, has 8 teeth but i used his mittens earlier to clean and massage his gums as well  but now he is biting me and it becomes a struggle. is there a certain type of toothbrush for his age and do i really need to use toothpaste now?though i know there are some toothpaste which are really safe to swallow.

\i guess gotta start it off without a struggle like the brush brush brush brush with pigeon song one
my sons imitates me in brushin and also let me brush away the REMAINING cavity!!!
a friend of mine let her son have a brush for himself while she brush him
definitely its best to not have him get on the negaive side when brushin, make it something enjoyable
