Wow, I could have written that first bit of your post! My DD is the same with dependence on her dummy. Though her teeth aren't so bad I think they are being pushed forwards a bit, which is why we have to do this too! But we have two babies with dummies...eeek! Although DS isn't too dependent on his yet. I soooo need the strength to get rid of them once and for all. You're braver than me, lol! I will be watching with interest
