After his three year checkup we learned some new recommendations from our pediatrician. AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) now recommends all kids get their teeth checked at one year. Well we were a bit behind with Logan and a bid ahead with Kaitlyn. We had practiced for the dentist visit many evenings with Mommy and Daddy playing pretend dentists. It all paid off! Logan was so excited to go to the dentist!! He was wonderful and the office was fantastic so it was an all-around great experience. One surprise was that "Gerry" Logan's favorite snugly bedtime chewy had to go! They said it was changing the angles of his teeth and could cause permanent damage.
One other surprise was new research is now suggesting using a tiny amount of fluoride toothpaste as soon as kids get their 1st tooth. It was new to me but I would love the kids to have strong teeth just like Daddy. They both seem to love to brush and Logan even loves to floss so we are well on our way to a life of big smiles.
