Our pediatrician told us to keep using the non fluoride toothpaste until he spits. He sucks the toothpaste off and eats it. He will brush but will not spit. Also his breath is horrible. I don’t know what to do.
I showed him in a playful manner while he was in the bath to take a sip of water and then spit it out making a noise when it's alll out of Mubarak mouth I showed him a couple of times and it became fun when's gen mastered the spitting I will brush his teeth and mine on the same time then I will take a sip and spit and he will copy me.
Teach your kid how to spit. Show what spit means- say it and do it and ask kid to do it. Kid won’t spit the first 500 times but one day it will click and will spit.
We had the same issue. They finally taught her at ABA. I sent toothpaste and brush and they practiced after lunch. I can’t remember specifics but I think they started with spitting water, saliva etc and rewarding her for just trying at first. Sorry not much help here but you could ask his therapist if he has one. They are usually really good with clever ideas.
Spitting out is counter productive . Really getting more toothpaste in then out . Bad breath spray cover it . Try gum he may not eat that . Do it I front show him you can spit it out . He may like the feel of be like me hate sticky do no assume he will have same reaction always . Another day may mean something new expect the unexpected
You can get Floride drops from your dr. I put 1 drop in his first morning drink everyday.
