[quote=Anonymous]I am sorry OP, I had struggles when my kid was 2, it was a battle, I can't imagine battling a 6 year old on this. My son eventually got over it and learned that it was going to happen no matter what, we did the timer, fun brushes, he gets to brush my teeth, his toys teeth etc, watch video etc, what worked was sitting him on my lap and letting him open the toothpaste squeeze it etc. I understand this may not be an option for you so here are some ideas to maybe mitigate the cavities A little unconventional but maybe one of those chewing gums that help clean teeth - Orbit or Trident Would he do mouth wash and not swallow it? A few days ago I saw an ad on facebook about a new type of toothbrush that I think is worth a try. I can't remember the exact name but it's something like this: https://tryautobrush.com/products/autobrush-for-kids-v3?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI49nR2JGf4wIVnIqzCh3pEgj7EAQYAyABEgIZvvD_BwE $99 https://360sonicbrush.net/products/kids-sonic-brush?cmp_id=2038244345&adg_id=72373457472&kwd=&device=c&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI49nR2JGf4wIVnIqzCh3pEgj7EAQYAiABEgLPhPD_BwE $37 dollar https://www.walmart.com/ip/Full-automatic-Variable-frequency-360-Ultrasonic-Electric-Toothbrush-Teeth-Cold-Light-Whitening-Device-Automatic-Toothbrush/981194625?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=100001365&adid=22222222227257561684&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=307067744391&wl4=pla-550865236506&wl5=9008123&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=125359789&wl11=online&wl12=981194625&veh=sem&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI49nR2JGf4wIVnIqzCh3pEgj7EAQYBCABEgJJEvD_BwE $39 I haven't used them so I can't say if they work well or not but it seems like something like this would be easier than sticking the brush in his mouth. Good luck OP![/quote]
