Brushing teeth.

[cslat1]

I brush Calleigh's teeth at least once a week. She doesn't like it, but we get through it. It is very important to do so. She is 9 now and so far hasn't needed to have any extractions. I'm crossing my fingers though. She does have her teeth cleaned by the vet also every other year. I'm sure this helps as well.

My dream would be to train my boys as well as Sugarmama did her girls to accept the Sonicare electric toothbrush. Sugar (RIP) had really bad teeth and oral disease, but the Sonicare helped tremendously and Sugar was able to go longer between vet cleanings.

Wow... never did I ever imagine to Sonicare brush my furbabies teeth. I guess Sugarmama's girls has the whitest teeth on the block - on every block!

I brush Blossom's teeth at least once a week. I started when I brought her home but instead of getting easier it gets harder. She don't like it at all but we get through it
