Dentist for 3
When I scheduled the dentist appointment for the boys, I thought the three would be seen all at the same time. Not one after another.
When I scheduled the dentist appointment for the boys, I thought we'd be at the office for maybe 45 minutes. Not 2 hours.
When I scheduled the dentist appointment for the boys, I thought that it'd be a nice Spring day. Not a torrential down pour--effectively soaking me to the bone when I got all the kids out of the vehicle.
All considered though, it went really well.
Titus was seen first and was so well in the chair! 3 cavities were found, which really surprises me. He's been the only kid to never take a drink to bed, switched from bottle to cup easily, and drinks water like a champ.
Titus' teeth are also really smushed together, with really no room between his baby teeth. Making one question: "How will his adult teeth come down?"
He also has an almost under-bite, almost like an open-bite. So that should be fun to correct in the future.
Eli was next. He had x-rays, a cleaning, and also did great in the chair.
His teeth happen to be perfect! NO cavities. Perfect teeth spacing. No bite problems. Thank you! Finally a break for Eli!
(He took antibiotics 30 min before his appointment. It's what heart patiences do. The mouth is a nasty place, and can easily effect the heart if something gets in the blood.)
Isaac was last.
It was more bad news than good news. There are no cavities on his adult teeth, but a few of his baby teeth have issues (all my fault for letting his take bottles to bed till he was almost 3. Totally ruined his baby teeth's enamel). He also doesn't have a lot of room for his adult teeth to come down. We will probably be seeing an orthodontist next year.
In June, Isaac and Titus will be seeing a pediatric dentist to fix their cavities.
