Dentist

Today was the girls check up with the Dentist. They both did really well. Nyah has been 2 other times so she was a little more familiar with the routine. She sat on my lap and let the dentist look in her mouth, brush her teeth and floss them!! I was so proud of her! The dentist asked her if she grew her teeth all be herself? she responded " Sure DID, thanks!" as she grabbed her toothbrush out of his hand and jumped off my lap. THAT'S OUR NYAH!

Then it was Anastyn's turn, she was not keen on having this man come anywhere near her let alone touch her! So we did the same procedure as we did with Ny except we had to hold her tighter. The dentist was even struggling to keep her still, she is a fighter I tell ya. Once we he got into her mouth and saw her teeth, he was a little concerned about one tooth on top that has not completely come in. He said it should have come in at the same time as the other front tooth. I asked him about her binkie and if that was affecting her teeth and to my dismay(even though I know the binkie isn't a good thing for her teeth, I guess I was hoping tell me "oh no it's fine") he said that could be the reason her other front tooth has taken so long to come through. He said that if both front teeth came through at the same time he would be fine with her continuing to use it....So moral of the story his recommendation was that we stop using it. I prefer to use the term WEAN and start letting her have at nap time and in a while go from there...

The best part of the whole visit is that neither of the girls have CAVITIES!!!

I like the binky for reducing the chance of SID's but I guess I'm glad Em doesn't love the binky now. We'll have to watch how much she has it when she's teething!
