I seriously am convinced that my child's beautiful teeth are going to rot! Gabby is not too keen on brushing her teeth right now. We are good if we get her to brush 3 times a week! I have tried a lot of things to motivate her to brush. We sing silly tooth brushing songs, bribe her with toys or playing outside if she will just brush her teeth. I have even tried brushing my teeth along with her with hopes that she will want to be like Mommy! Nope...nothing seems to work at the moment. I surely do not want her to be terrified of the toothbrush and if I result to holding her down just to get the toothbrush into her mouth, we will then have a child traumatized by the toothbrush for sure! I AM STRESSING! I have seriously contemplated consulting a dentist about this. Uncle John or may I say Dr. Ritter...HELP! Should I be freaking out or what?? I had a dream the other night that her teeth rotted...seriously! Until he responds...do any of my mama friends have any ideas to get Gabby motivated to brush her teeth? What did you do to get your kids motivated? Please don't tell me they were excited to brush! Aarrghhh! I am desperately looking for any ideas at this point. I will be patiently awaiting your responses. :-)
