Wee just can not tolerate a lot of smells and textures, so getting him to brush his teeth is a challenge, but we do ok. We use a rinse instead of toothpaste, and so far, he has not had any additional cavities.
(about 3 years ago, in the span of about 9 months between dental checkups, 8 of his teeth literally rotted out of his head. They were so severe they had to do root canals and crowns on 5; they were able to fill the other 3. I think it was likely medication related but I really don't know)
He had a checkup yesterday and has lost part of one filling and broken a tooth (A filled one). The broken one has to come out. The filling can be repaired, but even cleaning his teeth is a struggle for them, so they think he'll have to be knocked out to do the other work.
How does anyone else handle the dentist?
