AT WHAT AGE DO KIDS REMEMBER TO BRUSH THEIR TEETH?

I constantly have to remind Elijah to brush his teeth.
This drives me nuts. You know what makes me even more nuts......having to remind Tez who is 15!! Where was I?
I know, I know Elijah is only seven but to me brushing his teeth should already be an everyday routine!
The other night after getting out of the tub and me slatheringly with his pet peeve dodododo.......lotion........I got a big smile from my handsome little love to which I said, "You really need to brush your teeth! They look nasty!"
He quickly says, "Let me see!" and smiles into the mirror. "They don't look nasty to me!"
I respond with, "Your teeth are supposed to be white NOT yellow!"
His great comeback, "OOOH!"
I guess this is yet another reminder of the "joys of motherhood"!!

    I worked in a dental office for years, and adults don't even remember to bush their teeth!

  2. I do not know the answer to this question as we have the same problem in our house. I'm trying to get oldest to brush her teeth and put deodorant on and it is draining me.

  4. The joys of motherhood is priceless. Every sacrifice brings a certain amount of remarkable fulfillment. A lifetime of wonderful journey shared with loved ones. True and unconditional love is lived and expressed.
