What is the best method for cleaning a toddler's teeth?

Well first off, I'd build up anticipation for learning about cleaning teeth. Example; looking at pictures of babies brushing their teeth, watching videos of little ones cleaning their teeth, talking about it, having her watch you clean your teeth while you show her that it's fun, etc. You can start off just using your finger, and gradually move on to a "finger brush" which is a rubber device you put on that you can gently brush her teeth with. A washcloth over your finger can work as well.

Basically get her used to the idea of cleaning your teeth as being fun, and it gets easier from there. :).

Maybe let her use one brush for fun and in meantime brush with another making sure you get to these hard to reach spaces.

Thanks for the advice...now lets see how it goes :).

I would make up a game, maybe you should go back to using a soft baby face cloth to clean her teeth top and bottom. Right now, she may still feel uncomfortable with a toothbrush. Laurin Gatewood.

Try to teach her how to do it in front of a mirror, buy showing her how you do it with your tooth brush!

Diligence, patience, and trying different methods, try consulting eith your pediatrician.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
