I hold the chin hair and pull it slightly to open his mouth, and use toothpaste he likes. He doesn't fight that much, he knows afterwards he gets a treat. The first time you do it, don't do it for long, just let them taste the toothpaste and praise them and give a treat afterwards. Increase the time the next time, just reassure them and speak pleasantly, but not in a baby voice as this can make them anxious.
