Clean Teeth

My 3 little boys have super clean teeth tonight. They all went to the dentist for their 6 month cleaning. And I have to brag that they did a FANTASTIC job and everybody cooperated. They made there mom very happy to say the least. This was Tyler's first trip to the dentist. Well, technically it was his second but the first time didn't go very well. This time he sat in the chair himself, got his teeth cleaned, got his x-rays and was so well behaved.

All 3 = no cavities!!! Great news!

Tyler has great spacing....about 20 teeth....the only we talked about with the skin from his upper lip to his teeth. She said it is pretty thick and we just need to watch it. If he should fall he might cut it. When his adult teeth come in we would watch to see if it had any affect on the pull of his lip. If for any reason, he should get another set of tubes in his ears - then to go ahead and have the ENT cut it.

Dylan got exciting news....he has 2 loose teeth!!! He was so excited. They are just loose - and not wiggling very much. It could be 6 months to a year before they fall out but they have started. He could have cared - he was so excited and had to come home and call people. Getting his teeth cleaned is like an old habit to him. He does such a gtreat job. He's got great spacing as well.

Cody did wonderful too! The dentist said he has great bone structure. All his teeth appear healthy. The tooth in his palate is solid, healthy and has great bone support. All really good news. By looking at his old panoramic x-rays she said he has an extra tooth on his left side and a missing tooth on the right. She said that once we start the palate expander if we should need any help or assistance and don't want to drive to Syracuse, that we can stop by and she will help.

So to end a great trip to the dentist - there was no payment needed and the boys got McDonald's.
