So my kid doesn't allow for me to brush his teeth. We've tried the Cars toothpaste, the singing Thomas toothbrush, and everything in between, but he literally refuses (clinches lips together). I've given up the fight and weeks have passed since he's had a good brushin'. I just keep reminding myself that my husband has never had a single cavity, doesn't really consider teeth brushing a major priority in his life and the dentist always gives him the same report of "keep doing what you're doing". He takes that as "don't brush too often". Most say Henry looks like me, but I sure hope he's got his father's healthy teeth genes....just not the habits.So if you have any great tooth brushing tricks for a 2 year old, please do share!

This first batch is all going to fall out anyway!! :)
Jessie, that picture of Henry is hilarious! Yeah, I agree with melinda... They will eventually all fall out and he'll have a second chance;)
That picture is hilarious! I don't have any great tips. Ella has always been agreeable about tooth brushing for some reason!
do you let him do it? or do you try to do it for him?
lets hope he takes after his dad.
Hope this helps: my parents didn't make us brush our teeth until we were like 5(or even later I swear), and none of us had any cavities until our teens, and Monique still hasn't had a cavity. Does that make ya feel any better?
