Phew!
Just got back from the dentist with both kids. NO cavities!! *Knock on wood* neither has had any so far. I gave both of them a ^5.
Woo Hoo!! Way to go kids!!!
Yeah!!!!!! Two of my kids went yesterday,too. They are 8 and 6. No cavities, either. My 12 year old dd and 10 year old dd go tomorrow! Hopefully the same news!
My two boys went a couple of weeks ago, and no cavities here either! Woo hoo! What a relief, huh?
Woo hoo! High 5's from us too! Do you think they can talk to Syd about the importance of brushing?? LOL!
LOL, Eve! Actually, I'm surprised B has no cavities because it's always a struggle to get her to brush! Ty brushes his teeth several times a day without prompting. They're like night and day! LOL!
I'm becoming convinced having cavities has nothing to do with teeth brushing. My son should have a mouth full of cavities due to his intolerance of brushing (he has sensory issues), but, nope, not one. He's 8. I take him for cleanings every 3 months. I used to say "If you don't brush your teeth, you'll get cavities" but I stopped saying that when he was 5 or so. It was an empty threat.
Mommmie, I also have sensitivity issues (which may not be what you mean by sensory issues), and using Sensodyne (at my dentist's recommendation) has really helped.
