Bad teeth

We started the New Year off with visiting the dentist every week for the first month. Cadence's developed an abscess tooth the weekend after Christmas and had it pulled a week later. This tooth was one of her top left back molars. The weekend right after that tooth was pulled her right side of her mouth became sore and by Monday her right side of her face was swollen. Much worse than the left side. She had another abscess tooth and ended up with having both top back molars pulled. We knew that she had cavities but did not have an appt. to get them filled until the end of Jan. Cadence was excited about loosing the tooth and did ok getting the first tooth pulled. When it came to getting the second set pulled it was a little more drastic. We end up going to two different dentist because the first dentist felt sorry for her and wanted to put her to sleep. However that was going to take a least another month to get an appt. for that. Luckly another dentist in town, obviously with more experience, was able to get them pulled without putting her to sleep. Anyway this is over and we are being more strict on what Cadence is doing. I personally had but more trust in her on not eating to much junk and getting her teeth brushed good. Candy no longer exist in the house and a little more supervision on brushing teeth. (she always finds the candy no matter where or how high I put it) Here is few pictures of the first tooth. Fill free to use this as an example on eating way to much candy and not brushing good can effect your teeth.





By the way, Brice does not have any cavities.
