    Question:

    Hello
    Our boy of 2 years has never really liked to have brushed teeth and now he has become more independent, it is almost impossible without us feel that we make assault on him. We try to sing, read books, exchange ml normal toothbrush and electric but he screams and screams and writhes. Finally, I hold his head mL my legs and get it over with. But I do want it to be a good daily cheerful hours and not a struggle.

    Sincerely, Wendy

    Answer:

    Dear Wendy,

    I think I go about it the wrong way. It would be much worse if your son got holes in your teeth because you do not brush them. He will eventually give up and accept to have brushed your teeth. There are more parents in the same situation as you. It's very frustrating, but hang in there because it gives paw in the end.

    Hope you can use my answer.

    Sincerely

    Dentist Joan Olsen

    Highly sensitive teeth when I brush my teeth

    Question:

    My third tooth from the middle of the mouth is very sensitive when I brush my teeth, take cream or feel with your tongue but not when I chew. Going to the dentist regularly and have taken several pictures, all showing a healthy tooth, so no treatment is offered. No precedent?

    Answer:

    Dear Carsten,

    It appears you have sensitive teeth. It happens when you use the wrong toothbrush technique and the root is exposed. The most gentle is to use small circular movements with your toothbrush against your teeth. Your dentist may want. try to treat your teeth with fluoride to see if it helps your symptoms.

    Question 2:

    Hi Joan
    Thanks for your reply. Fluoride Treatment I have been past and it works.
    Amazes me as well as symptoms only on one tooth.
    vh Carsten

    Answer 2:

    Dear Carsten,

    Corner Second is often the most affected because of its location and strong roots.

    Hope you can use my answer.
