I think it's a wonderful idea to make him pony up some of the funds for the dental work! At 9 years old my difficult child is a pain in the butt to get him to brush let alone floss - often I end up having to floss his teeth for him. He had to go back to the dentist every 4 months for this past year until he got better at daily care - and he had to pay $10 towards the extra expense since the insurance wouldn't cover the 3rd visit for the year. Before he left for summer visitation difficult child wasn't fighting about tooth brushing anymore - probably will have to nag him hard to get him back in the habit (every year he comes back after 6 weeks of not brushing his teeth - you could see the moss growing in his mouth!).
