I brush my teeth about 10 times a day…never had a cavity…sister is a dentist…should have been a dental hygienist…you get my drift.  So when my son refused to brush his teeth I thought the best way to tackle it would be a little bribery.

Mama: “Tommy open your mouth and show me your big dinosaur teeth and then I’ll give you a sticker!”

Tommy: “Yes mama!” (with the biggest open mouth you’ve ever seen)We’ve been brushing like a champion for weeks and now the only thing we refuse is a new sticker chart…so we just keep piling on the stickers.  Works for me.  WINNING!
