[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 481845, member: 6705"] From my experience - chewing gum [I]helps[/I], but I have had many, many tooth problems and I would say... Don't let him have chewing gum in lieu of brushing teeth. For one night - won't hurt. But he may try to use that against you! LOL I loved dental floss. Maybe this would make it more fun? Can you get "kid flavored" (bubble gum, etc.) toothpaste there? A light-up or musical toothbrush? Anything to make it more fun. I would brush my teeth [I]with[/I] Jett sometimes, dance around, make funny faces. It helped, [I]some[/I]... I don't think it's the ADHD. I think he was trying to push your buttons - no, toothbrushing is NOT fun. But lemme tell ya - if he doesn't - OW! (I got to the point where I could call my dentist and say, "Hey Jane, it's Step, I have another abscess, can you have Dr. M call in amoxicillin 300 mg 30, 3xday for me, and next Friday can I come in?" and they'd do it, no questions asked. THAT BAD. Does J have allergies? Post nasal drip sometimes can make me vomit. Also a dog hair on the back of my tongue... [/QUOTE]
