Character Brush

My toddler wont brush his teeth...seems like I have tried everything, help please?

Hi all.

I have a 21 month old son and he HATES brushing his teeth.

I have tried:

singing songs to get him to "enjoy" brushing

colgate spin brush

his favorite characters toothpaste

praising him for trying to brush his teeth

used a regular toothbrush

He HATES brushing his teeth... I am getting really concerned because I can see his teeth starting to develop a brown film on his front teeth :( and all the dentists in our area aren't accepting new patients until September!

I have tried to brush his teeth for him, but he hates that as well, and I try to make it a good experience but when I try and brush his teeth he seems frightened...

Any suggestions on how I can get his teeth clean so he doesn't develop any more of that yucky brown film??

Serious answers ONLY.

Thanks all.
BTW he can't talk, so he its really hard to communicate with him...

get a tooth tunes brush! works every time :)
give him an inscentive; no candy/ desserts if he doesnt brush.
reward; praise every time he does brush.
