Dental health

after much neglect to their dental health I have gotten all my kids to the dentist
the dentist was nice and did not give me a hard time about having waited too long between visits :)

let me start out by saying that I should probably start a savings account now and start tucking away money to pay for my kids different dental issues :)

The boy has no cavities but some gingivitis he needs to come in in March to get sealant his overbite is going to need some help if you know what I mean :)


The middle child has what the Dentist calls "a deep bite" she grinds her teeth which will cause problems but there is really nothing we can do to stop her :( no cavities though...take the good where you can find it :)


The youngest child has some damage due to years of being on antibiotics for her kidney reflux. No cavities but the start of a cavity the Dentist told me that she is going to need braces, which is funny because she is the only one that doenst look like she will need them LOL but the report is that her teeth are too close together which looks nice now but when she gets her grown up teeth it will be an issue.

While we were there there was an emergency and in came a girl of the same age as my middle child with similar medical and developmental issues, she had an infected tooth and was in a lot of pain, it broke my heart to watch this little one, who didn't understand why her mouth hurt and was fluctuating between crying and angry outbursts, the mother kept apologizing to me and trying to explain herself So I told her that I understand, told her about J's issues and I even gave her my phone number and email :)
ok if you know me you know this is a big deal :)



onward to talking about the facebook addiction....seems that the rumor of admitting you have a problem being the first step is wrong HAHA


Oh yes I did have a long talk with my kids when they asked me why that little girl was crying....lets just say there will not be any forgetting to brish teeth KWIM
