I love the dentist that works with my children, especially Trey! He has an amazing staff and they know their stuff.
My kids just had another check up on November 14. No cavities but we definately need to do better at flossing.
Trey's teeth are good at the moment. Still has enamel even though he grinds. He is a bit late loosing baby teeth but then he was late getting them in the first place. With him being born premature there are going to be teeth problems but we will deal with that when necessary. For now he is good.
Brett in May had to have 5 teeth pulled at once. One of those teeth was an extra tooth that didn't need to be there and was starting to cause problems. So his two top front teeth, then the tooth to each side of the front teeth came out. He was so brave! Then just weeks after that his two bottom front teeth fell out. In fact, one of the permanent teeth had already come through behind the baby tooth. So we had to get it loosened up fast and out of there. Then he gently worked the permanent tooth into position with his tongue. All of that before he was 6 yrs old.
So at this appointment he had a full panoramic xray taken. When the dentist showed us what was there and not there we knew immediately that our friendly neighbor orthodontist would be seeing Brett in the future. He does not have enough room in his mouth for all his permanant teeth!
Ellie's teeth are beautiful and great. No problems there.
So our dentist's office takes pictures of the kids that don't have cavities. And every six months when you go in for an appointment you get to take home the previous picture. I love this, I love to see how the kids have changed and grown even in six months!
