Teeth cleaning

Any tips on cleaning little one’s teeth? He used to let me do it but the past week I just can’t get in there for more than a couple of seconds.

We do the technique of him lying down and put his arms under our legs. Then tickle monster for a bit until he is relaxed lying down! "Open wide!" Then get a good brush. Seems to work as he's used to what happens every time now

Also have a "brush brush song" so he knows what's coming and I try to brush my teeth first so he can see

They can resist it when teething. Will he do it himself? Even chewing on the brush is better than nothing.

@CeeCee he’ll chew the brush yeah, and eat the tooth paste. But just won’t let me brush the teefers. Don’t want to push it and create negative association but also worried his teeth aren’t getting brushed!

I give my little one the toothbrush to chew on and she watches me brush my teeth, have no issues. Dentist said this is enough for now x
