Brush Brush Brush: Toddlers often don't like to sit still for anything and they want to do it themselves. So make it a fun time as best you can. You can even offer rewards for his brushing well. Of course you need to do alot of the brushing but let your child finish. Don't make it world war three but definitely make it a habit. (it pays off).

Child Toothbrush: Make your child select what child toothbrush he/she likes. There are some characters in the toothbrush handle that may inspire him/her to brush. Use a child tooth paste and apply gentle strokes. Make it sure your child won't swallow the toothpaste. It can be a good bonding moment if you can brush and floss together while directing your toddler.
