Happy Matt,
Take Matthew to a pedi dentist and usually he or she would know how to make a kid to open his mouth. Spencer has his 1st teeth check right before his 2nd birthday and I did not hear (I was outside the room to watch Amanda) him cry at all. We also brush the 2 kids' teeth everyday and give them water after drinking juices or having something to eat. My dentist said that we can bring my son and daughter to have the first checkup around the 2nd birthday (or right after they have all their teeth cropped out).
