My DS has always been a bugger with brushing his teeth. Haaaaates it 99% of the time. Before we could communicate 'properly' he used to just cry, and push my hand away. I've tried all the tricks in the book (I think!). So the other day he says to me, 'no mummy, it's yucky!!'. I always thought he hated brushing his teeth, now I know he hates the taste of it. We've tried the supermarket brands (there are mainly 2 anyway). Every time I put that brush in his mouth he asks for a drink straight away. My question is, is there anything out there that you might have tried that doesn't taste like the regular toothpaste? Obviously flouride is very important, but I'm at my wits end. I don't think his teeth are the best as we haven't been properly brushing for 3 years!! They look clean but I think I can see some tarter in there
