This is his first time back to the dentist after his major teeth surgery last year in September. This was a very traumatic experience not only for Gavin but for Jeremy and I. He has a calcium deficiency in his teeth that caused him to get cavities between his teeth and easily get cavities. The easiest way to correct this was to put him to sleep, fill all the cavities and place caps on 6 of his teeth.
We were not expecting that many caps, initially we were told 3, but when they came out to get us, Gavin was waking up from being put to sleep and they told us it was much worse once they got in. Never what a mother wants to hear!!
But all was good at this visit... NO cavities and a slightly loose tooth on the bottom.
They cleaned his teeth, flossed and even painted some strawberry flavored fluoride over them. Gavin just laid back, listened to everything they said, even tried to answer all the questions they were asking while she had her hands shoved in his mouth (why do they do that?) and didn't complain the first time.
Gavin is a pretty remarkable little man, he has gone through a lot, with his finger and now his teeth, he always amazes me!!
