Help...
Noah lets us brush his teeth (after a fight 🤣) but how do you get the top ones properly??? I’ve noticed on one of his top teeth (not to the two front ones) he has faint brown dots and I really don’t want them getting worse! We’ve mad the mistake of brushing his teeth then giving him his cup of tea for bed so we’re going to stop it all together and give him warm milk, brush then bed from now on. Any other advice???? Is it normal???? 🤦🏼♀️

Kylan still fights. How do you brush them? I tend to sit on the toilet seat and lie him on my lap like a baby so I can see right into his mouth.
We've started a sticker chart last week and brushing his teeth is one of the things he has to do for a sticker. At the end of the week he gets to pick a toy if he gets enough stickers. Its working! Only 1 day out of 6 has he kicked off about having his teeth brushed

I sit him on my lap sideways, no way he would lie down I’ve tried that! Noah is too young at the moment to have a chart I would imagine? 🤷♀️ he wouldn’t understand that he gets a treat or whatever.. he’s getting better with it, I just need tips on getting those top ones!! 😫 I wish he was still gummy 🤣

I've not personally used it but there is some lovely videos on youtube that might help?

You do know tea has caffeine in right? And is very bad for teeth in general, especially baby teeth so I'd say that's why his teeth are like that. Stopping the tea and brushing regularly should sort it out.

Well yeah obviously....
he only has one cup of tea which is night time, so I honestly didn’t think it would hurt but reading about it I think it’s because we’ve been brushing then giving him the tea x

And not all his teeth. Just one x

Do you let him have a go? I’m lucky my son loves brushing his teeth but we’ve always let him do it first, then we go and do a proper clean. Maybe let him try while you’re brushing your teeth so he can copy you then make a game of you going after? There’s also things on YouTube of dinosaurs etc brushing their teeth, it shows them all manky then clean once they’ve finished. If he’s got a character he likes he might want to copy them.

Yeah I do he chews his brush but atleast he’s sort of doing it? I brush them then pass him his brush x

yeah that’s ok. Chewing the bristles will be like flossing and massaging his gums.

We put the duggee tooth brushing song on the TV (or the circle of life from lion king 😂) and I let him chew the toothbrush before I have a go. Or try pretend brushing a teddies teeth then let him take it in turn him then the teddy 😊 he will get there x

When I give it Layla to brush hers it's a struggle getting it off her! 😂 I let her sit on the toilet step in the bathroom when she's brushing hers. I started by brushing mine at the same time as she would hold hers and just chew it but she brushes hers good now but I do a bit at the end. She has some milk, then brush teeth and then bed xx
