60 Teeth = No Cavities

We went to the dentist today and the kids did GREAT!

Madelynn was first with no problems. She got her teeth cleaned and counted with no problem.

Malachi was next, and although slightly hesitant at first, got everything done with no major issues.

Aiden was last and started off really apprehensive, but after I gave him his trusty blanket, we were on our way. Then.....he experienced a little gagging fit (because he inherited that from his mommy) and after that it was screaming and crying for the remainder. We did manage to get his top teeth cleaned and she scraped at his bottom ones a tiny bit. At least this time he sat in the chair which is WAY more than he did the first time we were there.

So, each of the trio has 20 teeth and shouldn't get any until they are about 6 years old. The 6 year molars will come in then and the rest of their teeth will begin to loosen up.

No cavities for any of them. I guess it pays to limit their sugar intake! :) They each got their picture on the 'no cavity' wall, as well as a new toothbrush, pencil, and sticker. Overall, it was a great experience and I couldn't have asked for more cooperative children.
