Well Michael's 6 month check up at the dentist was yesterday he was very scared to go (I guess he was remembering back when he needed to get fillings and the pain it was) I let him know it would be fine and it was! He was in there for about 5 minutes, enough to check his teeth and clean them and do a floride treatment.
However we do neeed to schedule another appointment for him because apparently the back filling that he has needs to be re-done. Also we just found out that his 6-7 year old teeth are coming in wayyyy in the back. He has not complained of pain in his mouth yet but it is just now breaking through the gums.
I wasnt aware that they came in at thsi age - I thought he had them all and just was going to loose them and get new ones...but apparently they start loosing them at 6-7 and getting their adult teeth, at this time the 1st set of molars come in...the second set of molars come in around age 11...and then the 3rd set (which are also called wisdom teeth) come in later between age 17-22.
