You need to train your baby to think it is a game. First get a doggy toothbrush (most likely one small side and one larger side) and doggy toothpaste Do NOT use people toothpaste, it is poison to them if swallowed! Put some paste on your finger and let them taste it and get used to it. Then smoosh it into the brush bristles, then wave it in front of their face and say " wanna get it?" They will think its a game and want to chew it. Monitor them, for about 3 mins. Better yet, hold the brush and you control where it goes. Afterward, rinse and store the brush, do not let them get it by themselves. It becomes a treat and reward for them. they do not think it is a chore. this works on my Uni, she thinks it's a treat, she practically brushes her own teeth! : D
