Brush Teeth

It'll suffice to say that Gabe is very particular with things and brushing teeth is just another item on the list. For about a year, I wrestled with him on a daily basis, just to get a little brush into his mouth and attempt to get its bristles somewhat against each tooth. Each episode would be accompanied by, at best, lots of cajoling and some rewards. Otherwise, we'll have a screaming kid messed up with mucus and tears, and a frustrated mum hot with anger.

I decided enough was enough when we received a brochure advertising lots of items on sale at AMK Hub. The Osim uSparkle, a kid's electric toothbrush set, was selling at a cheap price. So I reasoned that as long as I'm able to jam that brush into his mouth and have the brush touch his teeth, they'll be cleaned. With the normal toothbrush, I'll still have to ensure a few strokes on each segment.


We bought the orange set. It's quite cute, really. And the efforts (and money spent) have paid off. I can safely say his teeth are pretty clean. We still have the occasional battles but it sure trumps daily ones. Hurray to the uSparkle!
