[tri-med] Re: Losing teeth

Cody just turned 12 and has only lost four teeth.  He got his first tooth
when he was 3 1/2 years old.  Going to the dentist is no picnic, but we
found an awesome dentist.  He does a lot of children with special needs.
Cody needs to be put to sleep.  We finally have brushing down where it is
not a major ordeal.  Took until he was 11 to not have to pin him down on the
floor.  He grinds almost 24/7 and has ground his molars down to almost
nothing.  Does anyone else have this problem with their child?
