Any ideas what I can do if my 15 month old refuses to brush her teeth?
She will scream every time I try to put the toothbrush in her mouth..
I already tried distracting her, bought her cute looking toothbrushes, she has a strawberry toothpaste and even without toothpaste she will scream.
She doesnt like the actual brushing of her teeth?
Any tips??

How long has this been going on for? Usually children get used to a routine.
Don't engage or give her any attention. Don't talk to her. Just brush her teeth and she'll see her tantrum doesn't get attention. Explain before what you are going to do so she is expecting what will happen and make sure you're not hurting her. After that you can ignore. She'll get used to it and it will be an easy experience.

Can you try while she’s in the bath? I find when my kids are that age, they’re much more agreeable to anything while playing in the bath.

I'll brush my 2-yo's teeth by bath time.
I'll give him the brush and let him do it himself.
Sometimes, I'll brush my teeth the same time, so he can copy, occasionally, I'll brush for him- doesn't like.
Baby teeth doesn't need the same care as permanent teeth, but it's good to help them develop the habit for good hygeine.

We pretend that she's going in the dentists chair and after she gets stickers. I wrap her in a blanket so she doesn't block me.

I showed them that uncle Moishy Brushing teeth video while they brush their teeth.
