There is this amazing mouthwash called Bio-tene that the doc reccommended we use while Kris was on chemo and We love it.

My Matthew is only 20 months old and I've already been wondering about his first visit to the dentist, maybe when he's 2 years old or so. Thanks for sharing your experience. It gives me an idea of what I may expect when it's time to take Matthew to the dentist. I wish I could link my related post to yours but I don't know how. http://billandria.blogspot.com/2009/05/this-is-way-we-brush-our-teeth.htmlRiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06737298798388579270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576310937763715660.post-48876007129843646042009-06-18T20:10:59.340-04:002009-06-18T20:10:59.340-04:00And your daughter's awesome, too.And your daughter's awesome, too.Annehttp://archiesroom.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576310937763715660.post-11211233774957101342009-06-18T08:40:33.914-04:002009-06-18T08:40:33.914-04:00SOunds like a great dentist.

We made many visits and did nothing but practice and several friends let us join them when their kids went to the dentist. SO far it's all worked out fine. Mine doesn't have incisors next to the front teeth. I'm told that is hereditary!

So I usually let him hold his own brush ins one hand while I try to brush w/ another brush. I find it very difficult to reach up to his gums to keep the teeth clean. I'm hoping that his first dental visit in 6 months won't be too difficult! Maybe he'll be used to the brushing by then.

I'm going to have Violette come in with us to observe how one behaves, and let the dentist look in her mouth.<br /><br />"Presumption of competence" is a big theme in my life as well when it comes to dealing with Miss V. I think it should be the mantra of all parents of kids with DS.<br /><br />Finally, not sure if you've seen this article, but it is a good one!<br />http://www.ds-health.com/dental.htmViolette's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15231023968519907458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576310937763715660.post-22499749024556714672009-06-17T08:48:43.028-04:002009-06-17T08:48:43.028-04:00That's fantastic!

Greg wasn't as cooperative as I would have liked either.

We took Sammi for the first time at 12 months, since she had her first tooth or two then. We took her again at 2, and are due for a 3rd visit now that she's 3. She totally surprised us with how cooperative she was. I think it's got so much to do with the manner of the dentist, and how they can relate to the child. I'm so glad it went well for Bridget!Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963099760885760598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576310937763715660.post-17711244847437020152009-06-17T00:07:48.719-04:002009-06-17T00:07:48.719-04:00That's great!
