Re: Refusal to brush teeth

This whole topic makes me want to gather all these non-brushers together in

one room and make them kiss each other. Maybe then...

My 15 yo has never liked brushing her teeth. I used to tell her that she

would face the consequences at the dental office, but she has had only one

cavity and that was extremely minor so that plan backfired on me. One thing

I found was that she hated mint toothpaste so I found some cherry flavored

(not easy to find). Also, I got her an electric toothbrush and somehow she

likes that better than a regular tooth brush. She still doesn't brush a lot

but she will brush if I tell her she has bad breath.
