Dentist!

Drew had his first trip to the dentist today and he did GREAT! I was a little nervous because I knew he had a cavity and I was concerned about how he would deal with them poking around in his mouth and cleaning his teeth but he really handled it all like a champ. We are scheduled for a cap for the cavity tooth in January. It is too large for just a filling and the dentist was concerned about the filling holding up for 8+ more years anyway. His tooth enamel did not fully develop so he is at risk for multiple cavities. Basically his teeth are soft - they can actually push on them and feel how soft they are. It makes mommy a little queasy to think about! So we are in full cavity prevention mode - juice and milk only with meals and plain water the rest of the day, brushing twice a day with prescription fluoride toothpaste, etc. We won't know if Allen's teeth are the same until he goes next year - maybe at least one of my boys got my strong, healthy teeth?!
