Taycie was AWFUL in the begining and she hated getting her teeth brushed.
I started by just getting her used to my finger in her mouth. If she was sitting on my lap I would lift up her lip and gently rub her gums on each side.
Then I moved to adding toothpaste. I would let her lick it off and rub it gently on her gums.
Then I moved to a Long looking q-tip and that really made an improvement. That helped her get used to something in her mouth.
Finally a few weeks later I started using a baby toothbrush. I buy the 4-24 months. Very small. It worked the best for us!
Now she will let me brush her teeth! I just put her on the bathroom counter and scrub away and she sits there patiently until I am finished and waits for her treat!
