The Buckets by Greg Cravens for May 20, 2020

First, give the answer you know they want and hope you’re not challenged.

When you can’t smile with confidence, brush, brush, brush them again.

I had a deal with my kids… we pay for checkups, THEY pay for fillings. Worked like a charm, no cavities until the eldest lived on his own. Still no cavities for your youngest (37 yrs old now).

Brushing your teeth correctly may help prevent cavities, but some people just don’t have strong teeth, so all the brushing, flossing, anti-cavity rinses, et al, doesn’t really help prevent cavities. Your kids just have strong teeth.

Brushing is okay, but it doesn’t stop teeth from cracking or roots from dying.

Brush your teeth Toby, trust me You will want all your teeth later on in life

Did you use the toilet brush?

Brush them all you want, the hockey puck still wins.

I brushed after every meal.

I used to ask my kids, “if I smell your breath would I think you’d brushed your teeth?” They’d cover their mouths like Toby here.
