"When Emmett started getting teeth, it only seemed natural that we&amp;#039;d want to brush them. Sure, they&amp;#039;re a starter set. But I don&amp;#039;t want him going to school in five years with a mouthful of hillbilly baby teeth! I polled my friends about how to brush a baby&amp;#039;s teeth\u2014which I later learned requires the patience and skill set one would use to brush a crocodile&amp;#039;s teeth\u2014and it turns out some of them don&amp;#039;t! My friend Lauren said she asked the doctor about brushing baby Alice&amp;#039;s teeth and the doctor straight-up laughed at her. Since Emmett and Alice share a doctor, that made me pause. But my friend Petra&amp;#039;s brother-in-law is a dentist, and he says brushing a baby&amp;#039;s baby teeth is super-dooper important, since cavities in baby teeth can deteriorate the adult teeth below them. So I decided to at least try to brush Emmett&amp;#039;s teeth at night, but I&amp;#039;m not sure how much good I&amp;#039;m doing. He likes the toothbrush well enough, but I probably get three &amp;quot;brush-a brush-a brush-as!&amp;quot; in on his top teeth and two on his bottom teeth before he plucks his Winnie the Pooh toothbrush out of my hand and starts banging it on the toilet. It all feels a teeny bit pointless, but I guess I&amp;#039;m at least getting him in the habit of brushing his teeth\u2014even if teeth brushing isn&amp;#039;t accomplishing much just yet. Do you brush your baby&amp;#039;s teeth? HOW?! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
