Brushing Kids Teeth

Brushing my 2 year old son's teeth has become a battle. He fight us and runs off. I am worried his teeth are not getting cleaned well enough. Is this normal? Any suggestions?

We had fought similar battles over brushing teeth at our house. Several children later, we stumbled up a brushing position that has really helped. Using this technique, our children behave better and we are really able to clean their teeth. We will sit on the floor and lay the child down as shown in this video.
