  • She has started to let me with the smaller brush, we made a deal she does it in the morning ( not well!) I do it at night she even helps put paste on her teeth. 

    She had real problems with her teeth she pulled 8 of her baby teeth out by 6 and a half and now she is trying to pull the adult ones, she can't stand the pressure feeling as they come in.

    Will your daughter see the dentist? It took alot of work and a very patient dentist! But my daughter gets hers checked every 3 months and gets a fluoride treatment on the weaker ones it made a big difference
