We took both kids to the dentist on Tuesday. It was Turner's first visit and he did great!!! He sat on my lap while they cleaned his teeth, but he handled it just fine. Maddie, on the other hand.....she has always done fine at the dentist. But Tuesday she just did not want to go. We explained to her that she needed to be a big example for Turner so he wouldn't be nervous. Apparently she isn't a fan on the flouride. The dental hygeniest let her use mouth wash instead and she was much better after that!
Turner's teeth look great and there were no issues. We weren't so lucky for Maddie, and I have several excuses that I am going to give-
1. She has to use flovent twice a day (an inhaler), which isn't good for her teeth but has worked wonders for her asthma.
2. When we potty trained her, we gave her starbursts for pooping, and that is still today her favorite candy.
3. She has a peanut/nut allergy which has eliminated quite a few foods from the whole families diet. We kinda feel sorry for her. I think we make it up to her by letting that child eat way too much non chocolate, chewy, sugary candy!!!!
Not good excuses....but excuses for why my four year old has 3 small cavities. 3 not good excuses on why we are about to put $400 worth of fillings in this four year olds mouth while I don't have a job. I think this momma has learned a lesson about excuses....there will be no more!!!!
