Caring for your child teeth and oral health care.
Caring for your child teeth and oral health care. I have a 17 month old son and I been taking care of his teeth by brushing them twice a day and making sure he does not have too many sweets. My problem is he is really fussy when it comes to me brushing his teeth. Is there some easier way to make him less fussy? I sometime put off brushing his teeth until the last minute just because it is a hassle I could really use some good advise.

Try making it fun instead of a chore. Brush your teeth and show him how much fun it can be. Possible that he just does not like the taste of the tooth paste so try changing the brand and seeing if that helps.

My daughter was the same way i just play with them a little while I brush tried my best to keep the tone light and not get upset when she would be fussy with me. I also did change tooth paste and got a tooth brush that vibrates she seem to really like that.

He get better as he get older just try and not get too upset when he fussy. As he get older to under stand more explain to him and brush your teeth together keep it light and your child will learn from that
