Please don’t judge as I know I’ve taken my eye off the ball on this one and feel stupid. I realised recently that DS has not been brushing his teeth properly. I had a look at his front teeth after brushing and they had a load of build up on them. I asked to clean them myself and noticed that his gums are obviously quite inflamed - they bled really easily. He had a dental check at school in February and they didn’t flag any issues but there clearly is now.
He’s booked in for the dentist over the summer, do hygienist appointments/cleaning exist for kids?! He would hate it. I’ve got him some of those tablets that turn plaque a funny colour but am worried that might traumatise him. He doesn’t like the sound of electric toothbrushes otherwise I’d get him one. anyone else struggling with this??
