I've also had the same feeling before, you know. Haha! Gladly, I've overcome it easily, through great motivation of my kids (who love their dentist SO much), and because of my dentist also.

So, we'd let it slide because it wasn't worth the fight. He'd close his little mouth up and wouldn't open up for anything. Around 2 though, I noticed gray in between his top front teeth! Yup, a cavity!<br /><br />So, the deal around here is at bedtime we brush teeth, then you get stories. Bribery is a fine art my friend...ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018384922813669204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33516164.post-57423637748025475792010-04-15T12:06:08.186-06:002010-04-15T12:06:08.186-06:00trauma city, they'll be scared for life.
dean...trauma city, they'll be scared for life.<br /><br />dean usually doesn't see such little folk. and he's not very good with kids either, which is half the reason why we aren't having any. the other half is that I'm not good with kids too!alessanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33516164.post-69130107975809617032010-04-15T09:46:14.248-06:002010-04-15T09:46:14.248-06:00As someone whose kids have terrible teeth (thank y...As someone whose kids have terrible teeth (thank you life saving antibiotics for stunting my kids enamel production) we have been going to the dentist for over a year now. To the tune of $300 a visit since we didn't put the twins on our dental insurance (we thought we had till they were 2!)<br />Anyways we floss their teeth with flossers and to brush their teeth we sit spread leg on the ground and lay them on their back. I will trap Derby's arms with my thighs if need be and brush. The Raffi song "Brush Your Teeth" seems to keep them quiet.<br />The dentist said to brush their teeth for at least a minute (yeah right). I go for as long as someone doesn't bite my fingers. Derby really likes this Elmo electric brush he got, though it scares Loen. I think it was from the drugstore.Havahttp://thetadpoles.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33516164.post-39701406503822908512010-04-14T23:48:47.327-06:002010-04-14T23:48:47.327-06:00Don't panic about tartar just yet.

Seriously, I was BAAAAAAD about brushing their teeth for the last 2.5 years and they're JUST FINE.<br /><br />Just kinda get 'em used to it now and you'll be peachy when you go visit the dentist the first time. Though I'd recommend waiting for closer to 3. Two somethings aren't really ready, I don't think.

Ive been thinking ab...jeeezus, a headlock? what???<br /><br />Ive been thinking about the same stuff. i bought the girls little baby toothbrushes but they spied our big ones in the bathroom and refused to use the wimpy little things. <br /><br />so we've bought them adult soft toothbrushes and in the bath i sing "brush brush brush your teeth" to the tune of row your boat.<br /><br />for the moment it's working, but Im already freaking about tartar and decay...<br /><br />tonight i cut (oh, TRIED to) cut their toenails for the first time and the screaming was impressive. i found myself on the carpet sitting on one baby holding her down doing it.<br /><br />oh my GOD!! it's come to this...screamishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877496725306468555noreply@blogger.com
