Can I have a Ppp
My 2yo blatantly refuses to brush her teeth. She sucks the tooth paste off and says “finished”
Iv tried different tooth paste.
toothbrushes with favourite characters on.
Even attempting to get her older sister to do them but no.
It gets to a point to where I have to pin her down and get her worked up to do them properly (which I hate to see her worked up or having to pin her down)
Any advice or tips please
Thank you

Can you reply to my post please.
I will give it a try about brushing her favourite teddys teeth at the same time – it maybe just a case of letting her grow to do it, she does only turn 2 next week.
I don’t think she would understand a reward chart she would just argue with me to stick the stickers on 🙈
Try the oral b app my 3 yr old is exactly the same and after buying numerous different toothbrushes singing songs talking about what she’s eaten that day ive found this app really helps it has a timer for the 2mins they brush for and shows a picture of different disney characters appearing whilst theyre brushing they then get stickers to go in a virtual sticker book each time they brush im using it for my 6 year old too and they both love it
At 2 years old parents should be brushing children’s teeth. It’s always difficult at that age but persistence is key. They may hate it now but if teeth are neglected, they will hate it even more if tbey develop toothache from caries.
Tickling is always a good one to try. Have 2 toothbrushes also. One for adult and one for child.
Dental chechups will be even more crucial now to check no cavities are developing. Good luck 👍
I was in exactly the same position as u when my daughter was the same as yours . It was awful : literally had to have 2 of us holding her down . That’s how bad it got !
Eventually after trying everything I went and bought the oral b toothbrushes with the replacement heads. You can also download the app . I wrapped the toothbrush up and made a letter from Santa saying how he was worried her teeth were going to turn black & that he’d made her a special brush . This actually worked ! We started letting her brush her own teeth with us next to her and now she allows me to do it . It’s made a huge difference to her teeths appearance !
I used to get so stressed out about this as I was so worried she would end up having bad teeth . But this toothbrush and the Santa letter worked wonders for me x
My 2 year old was like this I bought a spare toothbrush and every time he brushed his teeth I would stand next to him and brush his favourite toy dinosaurs teeth it really helped
This is amazing. It sings and and gives instruction to make brushing “fun” (although the song might drive you mad! Kids love it!)

If you speak to your dentist im sure they’ll agree it’s fairly normal and they will grow out of it, routine and persistence! Iv had it with all of mine and I have literally had to hold them between my legs on the bathroom floor to get them done! It’s awful I know but it won’t last forever unfortunately it’s just gotta be done, try a trip to choose a new toothbrush, a mild toothpaste and a little mirror, my little boy used to sound like we were really hurting him the mirror was a distraction “wow look at those sparkling teeth” can you see?” we brush to get rid of the “sugar men” they eat our teeth whilst we’re sleeping- brutal I know, they only eat teeth tho 🙈 it’s defo a stage they go through cos all of mine are now brilliant at cleaning their teeth the 3 year old not so much I have to do them for him then he has a turn and I’m just starting the drama with our 10month old… It gets easier 🙂
I had this problem with my now 4 year old a good while back . My other daughter 6 had this game on her iPad talking Angela and my 4 year old loved the game! and one of the tasks was brushing Angela’s teeth so every morning I would pretend she (my daughter)was Angelaand I had to brush her teeth and she never complained again lol
My little boy he s 3 half nowwas the same and wouldn’t wash he hand after toilet , I found the more I push it at him to do them the more him refuse. So I step bk and now him brushing his teeth and washing his hands without asking it last 3 days of mammy not nagging lol its a phase they go true,
My son turned two last week and he is a nightmare when it comes to brushing his teeth, I literally have to pin him down to brush them and even then sometimes I can’t do that. Feel like I Have tried so much the same as you x
I had this with my 5 yo a few year ago. I ended up buying those tablets from dentist that they chew and it turns their teeth purple and got her to brush it off in the mirror.
We tell our just turned 2 year old to show her teddy or toy how she does it, or get her her own toothbrush and let her do her toys teeth while you do hers. Works well unless she’s over tired x
Maybe try turning it into a game? Brush you’re teeth (or get an older sibling) at same time and say let’s see who can brush the longest? Make it fun x
My and my husband had to pin our daughter down to brush her teeth. She was a bugger. She is great now. But hated it as a little one. X
my 2 year old did the same she ate the toothpaste lol but she watched her big brother do his teeth and i also did his teeth for him to show it wasnt that bad lol and shes eventually realised she has to actually brush them and lets me partly brush them lol x
I am.having that with my 7 year old and dhee has a chart pined to wall in bathroom and stickers but she gets one sticker if she brushes her teeth twice that is once in morning and once at night and if she can do it untill chart is full then she gets a reward
My sons 2 he’d prefer to eat the toothpaste too . I’ve found it easier to do after a bath when he’s wrapped in the towel so he can’t wriggle /run away .. making loud animal noises 😂😂 (don’t ask) or getting him to laugh so he shows me his Peggy’s .. make a fuss when it’s done . He doesn’t need telling now he knows when we go in the bathroom after Brecky or when he getting Jarmies on for bed he’s getting his teeth done .
Just get in and clean them I usually tickle mine so be laughs and shows his teeth
Just show her pictures of horriable rotten black scabby teeth n show her nice clean white teeth and ask her what kind of teeth dose she want to have bet u ur problem will be solved 😉
When we were kids
And we did stuff like that
My mum cracked open the medical encyclopaedia
Maybe not so young as 2
How about instead of letting her do them herself.
Do them for her ???
She’ll soon start doing them properly
My 3 year likes the Aquafresh app on when he’s brushing his teeth. He was a nightmare but has got better since I’ve started to take him to the dentist.
My wee boys same i give him his then i have a soft adult one i use for him wen i do mine he let’s me do his with it lol try tht x
What about a fun electric toothbrush that they make for kids
Put a song on from YouTube showing how they do it might encourage her
Let her brush yours whilst you brush hers worked for me x
