Problem brushing teeth

I have problem brushing my kid’s teeth, so I only use handkerchief to wipe his teeth when he is taking bath. Because he didn’t brush his teeth well, he has few teeth with minor decay. Even If I bring him to see dentist, I don’t think the dentist can check his teeth. I’m sure he will cry and scream then run out from the room. Besided that, I do not hope to remove his teeth just because he has tooth decay. It is too scary for him.

I did taught him to brush teeth without toothpaste himself, but he just use his toothbrush as one of his toy. I don’t want to let him stand on a stool and look for mirror to brush his teeth as I worry he will knock on those bathroom faucets.

Anyway, are you facing the same problem like me too? Or your kids are so cooperate to brush their teeth? Any good idea to encourage kids to brush their teeth?

    If he likes to look at the mirror while brushing his teeth, jes let him be. But hold him properly so he won’t fall down. That’s what I do coz my boy sometimes like to look in the mirror.
