pleased to announce that through the past six months my little guy will open his mouth and let me brush the tops and bottoms he will wine some but weve made it part of the routine which works for him

Combine what EthanMom posted with Using Sensodyne and give Over the counter Pain Medicine 1/2 hour to 45 minutes before brushing will make it easier on the child.

I agree with the electric toothbrush. I bought my son a spiderman toothbrush. I would use a silly voice and try to talk as if I was spiderman and say to my son "Reilly , can I take the bad guys out of your mouth?"..If he would continue to scream I'd reply again "But Reilly I didn't finish getting the bad guys out"..I even tried letting him pick the toothbrush out. It's definately not easy. I hope you find something that works!

Great... we got my son a spin brush now... still doesn't want to but he will most mornings.

We have one that lights up can't afford the spin ones right now. He brushes his teeth in the dark. Also.. what works great is having them brush there teeth and pajamas before there last special of the night...
