Saving teeth - one brush at a time

With Abe missing 7 permanent teeth, we want to hold onto his baby teeth as long as possible. But Abe isn't extremely thorough at brushing his teeth. I think it's just really awkward to know which way to move to get all areas.

We tried getting him blue mouth rinse that would dye his teeth until he brushed it off, but it was a mess and dyed everything it spilled on.

So for V-day, Jimmy decided to get Abe an electric toothbrush. That has done the trick. The kid loves brushing his teeth now and it does a much more thorough job.

This morning at 6:30, Abe came into my room and told me he had already brushed his teeth. And today during quiet time I heard the buzz of his tooth brush. Keep in mind that he only brushed his teeth once a day before this cool spinning Diego toothbrush.

So, we're glad we finally found something that worked that will clean thoroughly. Save the teeth!!!
