Brush Up

The Spin Brush is my saving grace. I never anticipated my son JD would have a meltdown at the thought of me brushing his teeth–that is what happened when I tried to scrub-a-dub with a standard tot brush. He FREAKED OUT. Then, I freaked out because I was concerned why he was freaking out. I tried again the next day but he just pinched his lips together and CRIED. To the rescue: The Spin Brush for kids. JD has one that looks like a skateboard–cool, dude! The gentle vibration cleans his teeth and delicate gums with a super-soft head of bristles. It was so revealing to see him giggling when I fed the buzzing brush into his mouth. AMEN. Amazon.com has a 3-pack for under $20.
