Open Wide Without the War
👉 If your child has cavities — or you want to prevent them — this workshop shows you how to finally stop decay (and keep it from coming back).
Most parents don’t realize: healing only happens when teeth are actually clean. In just 60 minutes, you’ll learn the gentle, proven brushing system that makes that possible — without tears, tantrums, or guilt — and it works with almost any product you already have at home.
Why I Created Open Wide Without the War
After 30 years in dentistry and 15 years coaching families online, I kept seeing the same heartbreaking thing: parents doing everything right — yet still dealing with cavities, tears, and guilt.
That’s why I created Open Wide Without the War. No one was teaching the real-life “how to” of brushing at home. Not vague theories. Not products that can’t penetrate biofilm — just practical tools and simple techniques that actually work — and finally change results for families.
🙋♀️
Tired of the nightly battle — clamped mouths, meltdowns, and flailing arms every time you try to brush?
🤷♀️
Frustrated by tiny mouths that won’t stay open — still second-guessing if you’ve even done enough to stop cavities?
🤦♀️
Worried nothing is working — afraid you’ll be stuck watching your child’s decay get worse no matter what you do?
Tired of Trying Everything…
and Still Feeling Stuck?
-
You’ve tried every trick you can think of — but brushing still ends in stress, tears, or resistance.
-
You’ve bought the products, followed the diets, even tried supplements — but cavities keep coming back.
-
You’ve asked your dentist for help — but they don’t show you how to actually clean at home.
-
And deep down, you’re exhausted from second-guessing if you’re doing enough… while feeling like the “bad guy” every night
You Don’t Need More Effort —
You Need Better Access and Technique
The truth is, cavities don’t keep showing up because you’re not trying hard enough. They show up because the hardest-to-reach spots aren’t getting clean.
This workshop gives you the tools, positions, and techniques that finally get you into those tricky areas — so brushing works, products actually do their job, and healing can begin.

Hey! I'm Carrie Ibbetson, RDH 👋
I’ve spent 30 years in dentistry and 15 years coaching families online — helping thousands finally feel in control of brushing and healing at home.
I’ve seen nearly every role in the dental office, from chairside care to treatment planning, and I know what happens when dentistry fails families. That’s why I created this program: to bridge the gap between what happens in the dental chair and what actually works at home.
Inside this workshop, I’ll help you:
🦷 Heal your mouth (or your child’s) with clarity and confidence
🦷 Choose the right provider and ask for alternatives without fear
🦷 Know what’s working — and what’s not before problems get worse
🦷 Follow a plan you can stick to, even with a busy family schedule
This isn’t theory. It’s real tools, real support, and real change — backed by 30+ years in dentistry and 15+ years coaching families to healthier mouths.
Got a Question?
Will this still help if my child already has cavities — or is it too late?
Will this actually help heal anything — or just prevent more problems?
Is this only for toddlers or younger kids?
What makes this workshop different from what my dentist tells me?
How have you learned all this?
Is this suitable if I’m totally overwhelmed and short on time?
