Yesterday was our biannual dentist appointment for the kids. I love our dentist because they have 4 hygienists so we can get in and out relatively quick. Yesterday was the first time Colton let them clean his teeth. That was a victory!
All 6 kids got excellent reports. Our dentist even gives little report cards. Everyone got an A! Dustin did have a little fistula above a tooth that he chipped last Christmas. Thankfully, there was no infection in it, and we are hopeful that the tooth should fall out on it’s own soon.
The last few times we were at the dentist, William had terrible stain on his front teeth. We brush his teeth twice a day, and were so baffled as to why he stained so easily. Our kids do not drink soda or juice (the main causes of stain). After our last visit, we got the four oldest kids the Kid Sonicare toothbrushes as a Christmas gift. Guess what? William’s stain hasn’t come back since using it. Not sure if it was the tooth brush or not, but we swear by this toothbrush for the kids. Dustin will probably be getting one for Christmas this year. Shhhh… Don’t tell.
Other than our dental visits, we are currently home with a sick Dustin. Hopefully this bug doesn’t spread. Oh, and a certain big boy turns 8 this weekend!
