I was brushing Maximus' teeth this morning and he has 2 little empty spaces on the bottom and 1 on the top.....my baby is growing up

....but anyways I don't know where they are...did he just eat them? I kind of wanted to save at least 1 for his book...lol...

Sometimes they do swallow them, but it might be laying around too. Hard to say.

How in the world do you get Maximus to sit still so you can brush his teeth?

luzangela428 · 07-13-2005, 05:36 AM

LOL...I bribe him, I have a long toothbrush and 2 finger tip toothbrushes, plus tooth wipes...I give hima wipe to chew on while I do one side of the teeth or I let him chew on the finger or long toothbrush while I brush with the other on the other side...lol..it's a spectacle, I go through the same thing to brush his hair..he gets 2 brushes and I'm allowed to brush with 1...lol

luzangela you're the best

Could you PM me the brand of tooth wipes you use? These little guys want NO part in tooth brushing, although they loooove bribes

Amazing what we have to resort to!

No problem!!!!

Hey nothing wrong with a little give and take.....I do the same thing- Macy gets one I get one, sometimes I worry she will bite down when I am using the finger toothbrush- but oh well! I do the same thing when brushing her she gets one brush and I get one! We do what we have to do to keep them happy and healthy!

LOL....too bad Maximus' brushes don't feel that way..he has chewed the wood so bad on one that I had to throw it away and I bought a platic handles one for him to chew while I brush...but let's just say there is no more plastic on it...lol..he now has a love for combs..go figure, he can run 1 in a sitting so I bought a 20 pack at the dollar store and throw it out after I brush him in the morning

Don't worry! My guess is that at least one of his canines won't fall out... So you'll have it pulled

You'll get to keep that one! When Annie lost her first tooth I felt so bad cause I couldn't find it and I wanted to keep at least one... Then one time I found her playing with something in her mouth it turned out to be in one of her teeth

In the end when we had her spayed we had to pull 3 (yes three) canines! You would be amazed what the roots on those suckers look like! They are HUGE

Now that you know his baby teeth are starting to come out, you won't have a problem finding several on the floor....he'll be looking like a hockey player in no time!
