Molly is 3 1/2 and has bad teeth. You can SEE her cavities. The dentist wants to wait 6 months. He wants her to be older for two reasons. In 6 months she will have more cavities coming and he does not want to tramatize her at such a young age.
Molly is the first of 5 that actually let me brush her teeth. I was told she has very little plauge. She does have deep pits that catch everything. She also has some soft teeth.
Since she is the first I know it is not from nursing. My oldest had a bottle till he was 6. He was on the ketogenic diet and discovered his brothers sippy cups had sweet things in them LOL
That dentist was horrible. With Molly she started to wiggle when he was taking decay off the back of a front tooth. The dentist stopped and talked to her, asked her if he could continue. She nodded and he kept going.
There is a problem here in Maine with Medicaid and dentists. Only my oldest has it, but we also have insurance. I would not know where to go if I had to rely on just Medicaid.
