The other day I told Kai I told Kai I wanted to see him brush his teeth to make sure he was doing it right. His teeth never looked like they needed brushing cause he did such a good job at brushing. But I like to make sure everything is being done right every once in a while with the older but younger kids who like to do it themselves.I got into the bathroom and proceded to start brushing and asking can you feel how hard I am brushing and other questions like that.
I asked him to open his mouth so we could brush the tops of the teeth where he chews his food.....OH MY GOSH he had the biggest cavities I have ever seen in anyones mouth. I was horrified!!!! I asked many questions and found that they didn't hurt and that he had been loosing bits and pieces of his teeth for weeks and he never told anyone :O
I called the dentist the next morning and told her I was coming in and not leaving till they pulled the teeth because they were close to absess if not already there.
Kai was a trooper getting a tooth pulled on each side of his mouth. One tooth was absessed but as soon as the tooth came out the infection came with it. ICK!
He has since healed well and you would never know except for the big empty spaces in his mouth.
Moms......check their brushing more often than I did. Cause WOW!!!! I had a $300 bill for my laziness.
