Brushing the baby's teeth at night before going to bed is the healthiest habit to prevent cavities. However, many parents find toothbrushing quite difficult a task in their kids, especially for the toddlers who are 1 - 3 years old as they cry and move a lot.
Holding the child firmly for brushing either by both parents or a single one is the only and the right way to do it!
Here is a video to show you how even a single parent can brush a toddler's teeth.
Remember:
Regular brushing twice a day is the most effective way to fight cavities in children.
So, even if your baby moves and cries a lot, DO NOT GIVE UP! Hold him/her firmly and complete the thorough brushing to avoid dental problems in their early years of life. It is better to let them cry for a minute while brushing than crying because of a toothache!
