[blparent] Brushing Teeth

[Veronica Smith]

Our dentist told us to let her chew on the brush.  We'd buy some really
sweet paste- I think watermelon flavor, put on a dab and let her chew away.

Hi.  Here's another tooth question, for once those teeth are in.

Sarah hates having her teeth brushed.  What tips are there for making things
go a little easier, and for knowing I'm doing the job well?  She doesn't
mind me doing the front teeth, but when I go further back in her mouth, she
either bites down on the brush so I can't move it or spits it out.  I've
tried plain water and also a tiny dab of toothpaste.

Thanks,
Jo Elizabeth
