I never had a hard time taking care of my teeth when I was young. I was lucky enough to grow a set of pearly whites that did not require the aid of braces, pastas or any of those Washington DC dental implants. I got my dad’s good teeth. The question now is did mateo get mine as well?

You see, during our last visit to our great (amazing) dentists, we were courteously informed about mateo’s dental condition and reminded of the fact that we had very little idea on how to take care of a baby’s set of teeth. I mean, we try our best to give mateo a regular brushing but he’s recently becoming more and more resistant to the act. Before, he would just imitate me or andrea while we brush our teeth but I guess he’s gotten tired of imitating already. Bribes or threats have stopped working as well. Now, it takes both our efforts (andrea and mine) to successfully give him toothbrush.

I just hope all our efforts pay off. Because from what andrea told me, having teeth problems is not just bothersome. It is very costly as well.
