braces off, he decided he no longer had to keep his teeth clean. Actually,
hedidn't do such a good job before. If he was going to the orthodontist or
dentist, I would brush them for him until he was about 10 or 11. After that
he would fight me so I gave up. He is now 25 and has lost about half the
teeth in his mouth. The dentist is getting him a partial, but I am certain
with his lack of concern about dental hygiene, he will be in full dentures
inthe next five years. I have no good answers. Dom has always been quite
healthy. Nan
