We always watch Kamryn get her teeth cleaned and then when it's Owen's turn, he screams while the dentist peeks in his mouth. Today was different. Owen wanted to be a "bid boy!" Kamryn was also a big girl by going back all by herself with the hygienist to get her teeth cleaned without me, while I went with Owen in another room. I sat on the chair with him while he got all his xrays. He bit down on all the bite wings .. while crying.. and then saying "I no like that!" He let the dentist clean his teeth, a little, and checked out each little chomper.
No Cavities!!!
Both kids have great dental hygiene and neither one has a cavity to boot. Kamryn has never had a cavity so I didn't expect she would now. She does have a bunch of loose teeth, so when those fall out, we can talk braces again. With all of Owen's vomiting, anesthesia (10 times now) and lack of oral eating.. I was expecting a horrible report! It turns out his teeth look great and the only thing we saw was that his roots in the upper front teeth have some trauma to them. Maybe from intubation. All that means is that they might fall out earlier than the rest. We'll continue to brush twice daily and hopefully continue with our lucky dental streak.
I, unlike the rest of my family, have awful teeth. I had 10 cavities filled last May and tomorrow I have to have a crown replaced because it's 13 years old and has an overhang. Awesome. Better me than the kids.
