Ive been brushing my sons gums/Teeth since he was around 4/5months,Hes 14months now and loves it!
my son is petrified of the dentist! he's 21 months old and loves brushing his teeth himself, with me doing as thorough a job as possible afterwards. i just dont know if i'm getting them all cleaned enough as he moves around alot or bites on the toothbrush alot and makes a game out of it all. i do play along, but then he gets fed up easily and fidgety and wants to go to bed. i'm worried that he'll get bad teeth and what with not liking the dentist at all they wont be able to check him either.
we do a timed a 2 minute brush and rinse routine but am just wondering if thats enough.

My son is 20 months and has never really minded having his teeth brushed till recently, I think he's teething with his canines though. He's now coming to an age where he responds well to praise and stickers!
Have you tried giving your son his own toothbrush and you also having one? We did this when my LO was younger.
