Help!! How do I get my 2-year old to let me brush her teeth?
Answers:
ARGH!!!! I can't believe the people who said that a 2 yr old doesn't need it's teeth brushed or let them do it their self!!!
First off- as soon as teeth emerge is when you need to start brushing them! What they are suggesting is just to let them rot because they are 'only' baby teeth. That's just crazy! If they get cavities in baby teeth they most certainly will have fillings put in. I know several kids that have had baby teeth filled.
But I feel your pain!! My little girl that will be 3 in October fights having her teeth brushed tooth and nail but it's getting better. I let her brush them herself for a minute or so then I make her sit on the counter and I go back over them myself. She doesn't really like toothpaste so we just use water and the toothbrush. Some days I can get her to use a tiny watered down amount of toothpaste.
maybe u should try someone else to do it..like the forces of evil..u know what i mean...
note:
my answer is cryptic..but once u solve the riddle, it's gonna work
Use the bubble gum flavored kids tooth paste. Tom's would be best because it's natural.
