Jennifer Kolari Discusses a Toddler's Resistance to Tooth Brushing at Kolari's Corner

This week at Kolari’s Corner on InfoMommy, Jennifer Kolari answers a question from a reader about what to do when your toddler refuses to let you brush her teeth.

Jennifer advises parents to stay calm and neutral. She recommends trying to desensitize your child, starting by rubbing a little bit of toothpaste on her teeth with your finger and building slowly to full toothbrushing. Finally, it may help to give your child a sense of control by allowing her to choose the toothpaste flavour and a favourite toothbrush.
