Brushing teeth
Does anyone have any miracle tips on teeth brushing? It’s not even hard anymore it’s just impossible.
I have tried everything! Letting her brush my teeth and I do hers, brushing at the same time, making a game out of it, letting her do it herself, toothbrush timers and videos etc etc honestly everything and I’m at my wits end with it.
I feel like her teeth are going to just fall out haha I know dramatic but honestly the emphasis put onto it and rightfully so, freaks me out because she just will not do it 😩😩

I sit on the floor with her laid between my legs and her arms under my legs. She still cries but she’s much better like this than any other way i’ve tried. I let her ‘ brush’ them herself after x
Thanks ladies. I’ve tried that and she just clenches her jaw shut and gets really upset, we get like 2 tiny brushes in when I’m sure it’s just to get the flavour of the toothpaste and then that’s it. She has had one tooth after another if not 2 at a time coming through constantly for the past couple of months so maybe it hurts her to brush or it’s uncomfortable, I just don’t know what to do 😫
We have had to try every trick. Latest ones which have given some success is doing in front of a mirror and getting a toddler electric brush.
I saw something on insta about laying them down and holding their arms, I never expected it to work because she was also absolutely refusing, but it did. We tend to do it right after the bath while she’s all wrapped up.It’s been a few weeks and she’s still letting us get a good brushing and then I’ll let her have it to do it by herself. I just sing a song while I do it and it seems to distract her.
