Help with cleaning teeth

Hi. My 7 year old son refuses to clean his teeth.  He doesn't like the consistency of toothpaste.  Has anyone got any ideas how I can help him overcome this of any alternatives I can get him to toothpaste

thanks

  • Hi - worth searching that internet to see if there are alternatives to toothpaste.  Even if he just uses the tooth brush that will help. Maybe a mouthwash as well?  Also keeping away from foods which cause decay as mentioned by autismtwo.  There is something + I can't remember the name of it, but it's a special chewing gum which has an anti-decay property to it.  I think you have a piece after each meal.  Try doing a search for that.
