Parker has been to the dentist with Matt a few times preparing him for when he would have to go. I finally made him an appointment when I noticed that he had a cavity on one of his top molars. Now if I could tell there was a cavity, you can imagine how big it already was. He was really excited to be going to the dentist and did very well. The hygenist Heather is super nice and showed him how to brush really good and colored his teeth pink to show him the spots he had missed. He even got to watch a movie about teeth and how to take care of them. Well it turns out I should have taken him in sooner, he had 6 cavities. 2 on the top right, 2 on the top left, and 2 on the bottom left. So we will be making a few more trips in to the dentist to get them fixed. I think it is important to have good oral care so that the rest of your body can remain healthy as well. I need to do a better job of monitoring his brushing so that we won't have so many cavities next time. I hope he does as well as he did at his cleaning at the visit to get them fixed.
