What an experience that was. He has went every six months I think since he was three years old. He, unlike his sister, brushes and flosses as he is suppose to. This last report from the dr showed some decay in between his molars. And because of where it was it effected two teeth in every spot. So when I asked how many cavities they said 4!!!! OMG! I dont even have 4 cavities and I am an adult. But they said it had something to do with the enamel of his teeth and he is just going to have to work extra hard. These were his baby molars, but because he is only seven they said I should have them capped. So they ended up capping seven teeth. Three hours late my little boy comes out with a swollen mouth, and tears in his eyes.:( I felt so sorry for him. And all the nurses babied him, and said he did really good. I just feel horrible. Have you or your children ever had an experience like this?
