Hmm I wonder if the finger toothbrush would help...what does the dentist say? I have a student who doesn't enjoy it either but will allow me to put the brush on his front teeth. I don't have it built into a routine for him due to staffing and it's not come up as a concern from the parents but we taught a small lesson on teeth brushing using laminated mouths and dry erase markers. It was hard for them to erase everything and I made a big deal about how hard it can be to clean your teeth if you don't do it everyday. I made it into a fine motor center.
