Both my girls are really good when I brush their teeth. I just took it superrrrrr slow. The first couple of time, I just let them lick the tooth paste off the brush. I didn't actually brush their teeth at all. After that I would just gently put the brush into their mouth (on the sides) and kinda let them chew and play with it. I gradually started to just do a few brush like movements here and there. It didn't take too long for me to get them to enjoy a full on tooth brushing. Missy will even open her mouth up wide for me now. She's so good. You really just have to be very patient and try not to rush it. Getting the outsides of their teeth are most important, so maybe try just slipping the toothbrush into their cheek and brushing the outsides of the molars first. |
