[quote=Anonymous]NP here. I've tried all these tricks with my 14 month old and nothing works. I let him brush his own teeth and try to move the brush a bit with him so it scrubs his teeth but he just clamps up or pulls out the toothbrush as soon as I touch it. I have two toothbrushes and try to stick the second one in while he is using the first. I brush my teeth or let him brush my teeth and try to brush his at the same time. I show him videos. I try to tickle him and make him laugh. I use fluoride free toothpaste so it is tasty and incentivizes him to put the brush in his mouth but he just sucks on it. Occasionally if it has been too many nights in a row of minimal brushing, I hold him down and try to force it but that never ends well. Is a finger brush the best option at this point? I'm afraid he'll bite me as he has ALL of his teeth now, even first molars. Damn baby shark. [/quote]
