thanks so much!!!! |
I used to floss them. Slacking lately.
It's difficutl with regular floss. I like to use the individual flossers with the plastic handle (disposable...come about 100 to a pkg.). I just do the best she will let me do.
Ellie resists too. I put the brush in the side of her mouth (in her cheek) to brush the outsides while she is not cooperating. Then I try to push the brush through and she really has to let me in. Then, hmmm, I guess I hold her kinda funny to do it (she has been really fighting me lately too). She goes on my lap on her back. I hold the top of her mouth open with one hand, brush with the other and the brush kinda holds the bottom lip open I think. I'll have to pay attention tonight. lol.
