Here is my 5 step program for brushing Bella's teeth:
1) Get the toothbrush and a cup of water ready. No mouth wash; she'll drink it.
2) Go get Bella from wherever she is at, as she is not likely to be close by.
3) Try to convince her to let me brush her teeth simply because that's the right thing to do. This usually does not work, so I move on to step 4.
4) Try to figure out what she wants: A book, a song, a toy? Depending on her mood, this may take a while.
5) Threaten to take it away if she still does not let me brush her teeth.
If all fails, try to start from step 3 all over again.
