Do you find it almost impossible to tackle your toddler's teeth brushing? I recently went to a pediatric dentist and got some great tips. 

  • We brush teeth after bath time, when he is wrapped in a big towel. 
  • I use an electric toothbrush because it is more effective and fun for him! 
  • I bundle him in one arm facing the mirror and brush with my other hand. You are able to get the best angle when facing the same way as your child. 
  • Focus on the gum line and make sure to get toothless areas as well. 

This makes the process easier, while promoting healthy habits for the future!
