Trouble Brushing the Little Teeth
My little guy now has 6 teeth, and there another 2 cute tiny white teeth that has started to pop out. Whe he has this four little ones we have been trying to brush them at night but sometimes we missed to do it because he doesn’t like it. Now that he has 6 teethsis there, we brush them everyday and make it a habit but seems like we always had trouble doing it. We have to wristle him, hold his hand and head tight everytime we brush his teeth. He just want to play with his toothbrush and gnaw them. And everytime we brush his teeth it bleeds that’s why we had to stop it right away not even sure if we cleaned it right and gave him the brush atleast it is still look like his brushing his gum or teeth when he gnawed the toothbrush. I google on tips in brushing the baby/toddler’s teeth and read it, but all of them didn’t work we already tried doing those tips. I brush my teeth infront of him so that he will imitate what I am doing,but it looks like he just ignored me and go on with what exploring he is doing. We noticed it already before that everytime we try to teach him something he refuse to cooperate, or rather say doesn’t want to follow. He wants to do things on his own at his own pace. So if anyone there has a good technique in brushing your little ones we will appreciate any suggestion and love to hear it.
you have to try to make a game out of it in some way. you could get the tablets which turn the kids teeth red and then show him to brush it off to make it disappear.
sing a song about it, get a character toothbrush and explain how the character wants him to have clean teeth.
There’s lots of ways to do it, just try to be careful doing it at night.
