Dental problems - very concerned

Hi,

My son is 9 years old and we are having huge problems cleaning his teeth. They are becoming very yellow and covered in plaque, especially the front teeth. Every time he cleans his teeth he barely touches his front teeth with the toothbrush. If I try to help him he pulls his lip firmly into his teeth so I can't get the toothbrush down to his teeth. I am really concerned as these are his adult teeth and I do not want him to lose them.

Any advice really welcome.

Thanks in advance x

  • Many thanks for your response - he has an appointment with the dentist on Thursday so I'm hoping she'll be a bit more proactive this time. When we went 4 months agao she didn't even clean them!! Fingers crossed!! 

    Thanks again :)
