Let your children pick their own toothbrush when it’s time for a change. This gives them something to look forward to every three months. Today, there is an assortment of kiddy toothbrushes from familiar cartoon characters to those in the shape of animals like penguins or cats that will make toothbrushing a lot more fun. In choosing a toothbrush, make sure it has soft bristles and a head that fits well in the child’s mouth. Manual and electric toothbrushes are equally effective at removal of dental plaque.
don't force...force will make them have more negative feelings towards this activity. i'll make it into a game...i'll let her brush my teeth, or we'll "brush" her toy's teeth..then her teeth, or we'll sing a song (i've invented a brushing teeth song). may sound silly (and i agree...very time consuming)..but it works and she's happy brushing her teeth
First I let her "brush" my teeth while I'm brushing her teeth. So it's a fun activity that my toddler always looking forward to everyday. The next step is to let her brush her own teeth infront of of mirror, she loves it.
