How to Encourage 2 Yr Old to Brush Teeth

My son had to have caps put on his 4 front teeth when he was barely one yrs old possibly because of constantly nursing to sleep and falling asleep at the breast. He never took a bottle and we never fed him sugar before 10 months. He will be 3 in August and now we have been brushing his teeth nightly but my husband will often hold him down while he is screaming and protesting and brush his teeth by force because my son doesn't like it and won't do it on his own. This bothers me very much, but I am also traumatized by having seen him go...

Questions on Cavities

I had lots of cavities as a child and have been told that it can all be inherited. Can anyone make me feel any better?!?!?!

The past few nights my husband and I have been trying to do a better job of brushing them, but our daughter gets really upset and one of us ends up having to hold her down while the other one brushes. I don't want to make tooth brushing into anything scary, or any...

Help for a Teething Baby

Hi moms. My almost 8 month old daughter has started cutting teeth just a few days ago. she so far has been dealing with it alright (i know it's a long road) but when I got home last night she had a fever. I know they can be caused by teething so I gave her some tylenol and she still had one this morning so I gave her some more. What do you all do to help the side effects of teething as well as the teething? Could use any suggestions - thanks :)
