[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did I miss it? Did op ever reveal WHY her kid won't brush teeth? I'm betting it hurts the kids bc there's gingivitis/sensitive gums or a wiggly tooth that's sore or there's the onset of a cavity. Hence the kid's refusal to even try. Can you at least get him to swish around mouth wash? They make kid friendly types (with kid friendly flavors). At least that's something.[/quote] This is what came to mind for me as well.OP did you, very calmly, ask him why he has not brushed? Does it hurt somewhere? That is where I would start the conversation. Then ask if it hurts when he eats or drinks. Depending on the answer you may need to schedule an emergency dental appointment. If that’s not the issue, definitely bribery and withholding luxuries because this is non negotiable.Finally, yes you have to hold him down.[/quote]
