12 cavities

C has 12 cavities. Yes. You read that right. 12.  I know it is controversial, but I blame breastfeeding. He just didn't have the early access to fluoridated water like the other three had with their formula bottles. 

He had to be NPO (nothing to eat or drink) to get half of his cavities filled today so we brought him into bed with us to make sure he did not sneak any food or water. Steve was still sleeping and I could see Cs hand around his Daddy's shoulder. So stinking cute. 


Then it was time for the dentist. We were not sure how he would do so we decided to sedate him. He was hilarious with no filters. He kept talking about his favorite fruits and vegetables. He took the topic very seriously and decided he is a fan of beets. Funny because that does not translate to real life where he barely chokes them down. He was very pleasant while he was being worked on and kept trying to have a conversation with the dentist while they were working on his teeth. The dentist kept having to tell him to stop talking so they could get the work done. He is a very chatty, personable child. 




Because he was sedated he had to be watched for the next 6 hours. He was so sweet. He came home and rested right on the kitchen table while he enjoyed his treats. We will go back in a month to get the other half of his mouth fixed. So grateful for dental insurance.
