Edward and Henry made their way to the dentist this morning. The dentist gave a better report for their teeth, but it is still distressing for a parent to see that we really have no control over hereditary bad teeth!
Henry got off easy as he only needs a sealant put on his teeth. So, this means he had some weak points on his enamel but no cavities. He does seem to be the one that spends the most time brushing his teeth at home so hoping we can convince the others to follow his example.
Edward, on the other hand, continued the trend of follow up appointments. Although his teeth were not as bad as Brendan, he will need to have four cavities filled along with the sealant. However, on the bright side, he really liked the new dentist. He came home talking about how he promised to brush his teeth after each meal. Let's see if he can keep up this enthusiasm. Maybe he will be the one to motivate the others.
And, the big news is that we need to start using some type of fluoride supplement. I guess not having fluoride in our drinking water is not helping our already poor quality teeth. So, now I will be researching this need. Once again, I am not finished with this topic. I suppose I will be talking about it into the next month if not longer.
Oh! And Sean has not even seen the dentist yet! Watch out world...he always has something wrong with his teeth...I can only imagine what it will be this time!
On the bright side, we did manage to get our recliner picked up from the furniture store. Michael had it all set up in a cozy spot in our bedroom. We are all loving the comfort of this new chair. Zaira especially enjoyed a long nap cuddled up in Michael's arms. Oh...I know some of you will say we are spoiling her, but they are only this small once and we always seem to get them to sleep through the night on schedule when it really matters.
