[quote=Russell]Sorry to hear that gn. Our middle child just came back from the dentist yesterday and has 3 cavities. He is almost five. He has them on each side of his mouth. The dentist is going to take care of them in two visits because he doesn’t want to numb up his entire mouth in one visit, but there is no sedation involved.
I am bummed for him.He doesn’t eat a lot of junk and we have been pretty good about brushing. I am really hoping we can do something about this before he gets older. These are all baby teeth.[/quote]
That’s exactly what I’m was saying. When I was a kid, i ate a lot of junk and my teeth were fine. And some of my friends brushed like crazy, and they got cavities left and right. I think it might be genetic related, not necessarily because the kid has poor hygiene (though poor hygiene definitely isn’t any good).
Have you tried using those prescription flouride rinse? Supposedly it’s to be more helpful. My daughter use to go to sleep with the milk bottle in her mouth for a 2 years. Doctors/dentists gave be crap about that. Luckily, no more.
