Brushing Teeth

How often do you brush your LO's teeth?  I need to get more regular with it but dang if she doesn't throw a total fit and purse her lips when I try.  UGH!

    We brush twice a day. After breakfast and before bed. What I noticed that helps is if I hold DS in front of a mirror and brush. He thinks its funny. Have you tried that?

    Every morning and every night.  We do it right after she eats and I wet her crazy hair down (we do baths at night.)  Then we do it after she takes her vitamin and right before bed at night.

    We get a good brush in every morning.  Evenings are hit or miss.  When DD is tired and cranky she does not like me messing with her mouth.

    DD brushes (or rather chews on it) before we leave for school in the morning and right before bed.  She loves when I put a little toothpaste on it and chews on it.  She does let me brush them quickly though.  
    Love my girls!!

      What helps u to prevent fits is to give DD a toothbrush while we brush her teeth.  Then she has something distracting her.

    We get a good brushing in the am and it's hit or miss at night. In the am, I give him his toothbrush and he chews on it while I brush my teeth. Then I do a quick once over for him (that varies - some days he tolerates a lot and if he throws a fit I don't push it too hard). Then we do a bit in the pm, but we do miss it occasionally on crazy days and I don't shoot for that full cleaning, just enough to get him in the routine and hopefully get him to like brushing.

    Twice a day. My DD used to fight us until we got her a spin brush. She actually enjoys it now. It's a $5 Crayola toothbrush we found at Target.

    At least once a day, before bed, but I'm getting in the habit of doing it after breakfast too. My DD fought us every step of the way for the first little while but eventually she just started to like it :)

    Once a day before bed.  I need to start adding in a morning brushing.  We have 2 toothbrushes.  He holds one and attempts to brush his teeth while I brush them with the other one.
