[QUOTE="klmno, post: 352342, member: 3699"] Well, I was going to say it could be his own chemical makeup making his teeth prone to cavities until you said the dentist specifically said otherwise. I only scanned the other responses and it looks like my ideas were mentioned already- 1) strict limiting of sodas, sweets, hard candy- none near bedtime; 2) maybe something he likes to do in the evening is limited to ONLY after you know he's brushed his teeth, then no drinks or food after that; 3) tell the dentist in private to make the next fillings not so painless. Oh- you can take him in to have teeth cleaned more frequently and make him use the mouthwash that colors the teeth until each spot is brushed well. The first time I had to get a filling I was about 6 yo and was not numbed at all. I noticed when my son got one he had the stuff that numbs your gum before the neddle was put in that actually numbs the entire side of your face, then was handed an office game boy to play for a while until the numbing took effect. I told the dentist then that it was no wonder my son wasn't all that motivated to brush his teeth. [/QUOTE]
