[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 352544, member: 1963"] I have terrible teeth, but I was born with a birth defect where my tooth enamel didn't form properly, so can't protect the teeth. Cost me all of my top teeth despite my brushing and flossing from the time I could hold the brush myself (I remember my mom flossing my teeth when I was too little to do it my self). I've lost back molars on the bottom and am in the process of having my other bottom teeth rebuilt. Not cheap and not fun. A thing to remember is that it isn't just sweets; potato chips, cheetos, stuff like that, are HORRIBLE for teeth because you basically wind up with starch stuck to the teeth and the acid forming bacteria go crazy for it. I can't do root canals because the repaired teeth break off or rot beneath crowns. If your difficult child has normal enamel, he is heading towards a mouth like mine sooner rather than later.
