Sensory Processing Dental Care For Kids
Are there any other helpful ideas that you would add to these?

Consistency is important. Keeping a routine will help ease the anxiety for your child. They will know to expect brushing their teeth every day at the same time. Visual schedule can also be a great tool to assist your child with a visual, so they know what to expect each day.

Finding the right toothbrush can change everything. Your child may want a super soft toothbrush or they may prefer using a vibrating toothbrush. I have seen other parents also use oral swabs to start brushing their child's teeth too.

Choosing the wrong toothpaste can be the reason your child is struggling with brushing their teeth. Some children want unflavored toothpaste while others want different flavors or fluoride free toothpaste. It can take trying several different toothpastes before you find the right one.
