Another Dentist Appointment...Another Follow Up Appointment for Cavities

Today all three kids had their 6 month dental appointment. In this area, my children are quite consistent.

K - Teeth, as always look fine. She still has yet to have a single cavity. Her teeth are nice and straight. Her 6yr molars have mostly come in. In three months we will return to the dentist to have sealants placed in all permanent molars. Hopefully, since these are permanent teeth, insurance will pay for it this time.

S - Sigh...As always, he has cavities. S has NEVER had a visit which doesn't end up with new found cavities. This time we found two more. We go back in 2 weeks to have those ones fixed. His 6yr molars have not yet poked through. I am curious to see how his adult teeth come in since all his baby teeth have had nothing but problems.

M - his exams are still not extremely comprehensive. But he did get a fluoride treatment with oral exam. His two front teeth are 'directionally challenged' another possible side effect from that darn pacifier. I really need to get that stink'in thing away from him. It seems to be causing too many problems. My goal is to have it completely gone by three!
