ITs confirmed- she is a monster !
Well we took Kayden to the dentist for the first time. She got her bottom tooth and now it appeared that her fangs were popping through. So I was concerned about the rest of the front teeth and I read that for special needs kiddo it is good to have them checked by the dentist around their first birthday as preventative. And since everything that could go wrong has, we decided to go ahead and have her checked. Out dentist is amazing- I already knew that with Caitlin ! but his staff arranged an appt that was at a time that is more quiet and set in a room with less stimulation. Kayden feel asleep right as we pulled into the parking lot and started to wake up when the Dr came in the room. He checked her out and told us the following..... Her muscle tone is good (YEAH !! Huge relief so she shouldnt have problems with speech) and her pallet is good (YEAH gain !), he feels her teeth and everything seems good. He said that there is nothing wrong with her fangs coming in before her front teeth, even though thats not the "norm" it does happen and she will just look like a vampire ! At which I corrected him, reminding him she already has one in the front bottom and said it will be more like a jack-o-lantern. To which he said "how we know what she will be for halloween" Except lil punkin was a punkin last year- she was going to be a lady bug this year !! The only concern was that he did not see the teeth next to the top front teeth. He said the could be delayed and be there and him just not be be able to feel them, but he did talk to us about the possibilities they are missing ! They wont do too much for baby teeth but if the big teeth are gone too then they will need to do some adjustments. We will cross that bridge when we get there !!! Kayden did great through the whole thing and never got upset with him poking and pushing in her mouth, in fact she even smiled about it. I wish I could post the pics but they are on our phones and Im not sure to get them from there to here ! He also told me 1. they are recommending the preventative vistis around age 1 for all kids, 2. watch the amount of juice she gets so it does not lead to cavities, and at age 2 he wants her on a straw sippy cup ! and he wants to see us again in 6 months ! This was one of the BEST Doctor visits we had in a long time. We didnt walk out feeling "great, one more thing" We feel good to know that her front teeth are there and that its okay for her canines to come in frist ! WHEW ! What a relief ! and she got to go home with a soft baby tooth brush so we can start introducing teeth bruching ! awwww her first tooth brush ! My baby is growing up !
