Your kid's teeth?

[prairiemama]

I'm getting kinda berated over at Natural Family for not pinning Robin down and thoroughly brushing her teeth every night. How do you do dental hygiene with your kid? We give Robin her toothbrush with toothpaste on it and she usually brushes them sort of haphazardly, but they do get some attention. Sometimes she'll let me finish up. We don't brush in the morning, and I don't force her to do it or do it for her because I figure later on, I'll want her to have positive associations. But apparently this is dooming her to dental surgery under general anesthesia :P.

I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one in this situation. Chris brushes once a day in the morning, for like...less than 30 seconds. No cavities. Ever.

I floss twice a day, brush three times a day, and I have a cavity or two or THREE EVERY SINGLE TIME I go to the dentist. Not fair!
