- Use a small smear of toothpaste (half the size of a pea)
- Stand behind them and let them watch in the mirror. It helps them know that you are in control and also makes them feel secure.
- Sing a song
- Consistency. Making brushing part of your toddlers normal routine will help them know what to expect each night.
- Lift the upper lip!! Younger children are susceptible to cavities on the 4 front teeth so make sure you don’t miss this spot, even when they are protesting!!
- Keep up the good work!! We know this age group can be a struggle!!
