Anyone's toddler have a cavity???

I feel like the world's worst mother, but I think DD has a cavity. I don't know how this happened. She doesn't get a ton of treats (maybe 1-2 a day during the summer, less during the school year), I brush her teeth every night, she drinks water, milk or extremely low sugar/watered down juice and DH and myself had healthy teeth as children. I have issues with my teeth now and I've read that sharing with her is bad, but I'm a mom and so sharing happens sometimes (sharing utensils, straws, etc.). Ugh! This really sucks and the mommy guilt is going to kill me!

Don't beat yourself up!  This can happen to anyone (even children of dentists )

My sister's kids didn't have very good baby teeth but their permanent teeth have been much healthier.  I don't know if that means anything but I just wanted to give you a brightside maybe.

Poor thing! Has she ever been to the dentist? 

Yes, she's been to the dentist, twice. As a matter of fact, we were just there a month ago. I'm annoyed that this wasn't noticed at her appointment. She appears to have a significant hole in her back right 12 month molar.

Unfortunately some kids are more prone to cavities. Just need to by super vigilant with mouth care, but even the they may happen.

Are you sure it's not just food stuck? 

Yeah, I would think the dentist should have noticed it last appt.
