All 3 children went to the dentist last week. K loves to go--she's never had any trouble with anything so it's still fun for her. Here she is in her fancy shades.....

T doesn't mind going, but we did find out about a small problem with his 6 year molars. They have come in partially but are at an angle because of baby teeth in front of them. They would normally pull the baby teeth, but the x-rays show he has no permanent teeth under those 2 baby teeth. So...she wants to save the baby teeth as long as she can. We went to an orthodontist to follow up and they put a metal spring in between one of the molars and the baby tooth. I don't know why they didn't do both sides. We go back in 3 months to check on this. They are talking about putting braces on the back teeth to help this problem. Otherwise, the dentist will put crowns on the 2 baby teeth.

Z has had a jumbled up mouthful of teeth for awhile. He's supposed to get braces in a few months. He had a pretty good report and is doing very well caring for his teeth. None of them have ever had any cavities so I'm thankful for that!
