So I had asked questions about the dentist the other day. Thanks for the input everyone.
So DS did great. He let them brush his teeth, and the dentist had him lay in my lap with his head on the dentist's lap to look in his mouth. DS cried, but the dentist said he wants that otherwise he can't look in his mouth. He said DS' teeth look great and that we just continue to do what we are doing.
Now me on the other hand...
I have 4 cavities and one old one that needs a crown. I was in shock. I have never had cavities like this before. I brush twice a day but rarely floss and that's where I had the cavities. The dentist said it could be from the pregnancy with DS because the baby takes your nutrients or something. I don't know if this is true or not, but I was so embarrassed. I don't want to be one of those people with bad teeth when they older. DH sucks at brushing his teeth, seriously he's like a little kid and always 'forgets' to brush them...and guess what? He had no cavities.
Anyone else have bad teeth after pregnancy or heard anything like that?
I am starting to rethink TTC in November...
Re: Dentist for DS and Me...update
My gums were totally more sensitive while pregnant and my eyes were a litle worse. I have a dentist appointment in a couple weeks and I'm sure there are cavaties (I rarely, ok never, floss either). I have heard about the pregnancy making strange changes in your body though so it seems legit.
I guess I have to get Allison to the dentist soon don't I? Crud...
