Hi Danielle,

Welcome to the community!

We also have some tips around brushing teeth here that might help:

As she is peg feed - I thought you might be interested in a storybook and colour sheets that Scope has produced with "Peg Ted" a bear who is peg feed! https://www.scope.org.uk/support/families/books/children
