Brushing my toddlers teeth (Also in Toddler)

Hi. I am hoping someone can help. My daughter is 18 months old and we have been trying to brush her teeth since they first started to come through. We are trying not to make it a battle, but it can be very frustrating when she refuses to open her mouth. We have also tried 'setting a good example' by doing our teeth at the same time but this doesn't seem to help either. Does anyone have any suggestions for us please?

Thanks in advance X

    Hi



    MY DD has just turn 19months and we also have a daily battle with teeth brushing. Some ways we have made it easier is:



    Letting her look in the mirror while we brush them

    Getting a toy to 'hold' the brush and 'brush' her teeth.

    To let her 'brush' our teeth while we brush hers

    Giving her loads and loads of praise when she lets us brush them x
