This week brought our biannual trip to the dentist. Usually it's a quick check, polish and we're off. However this time K got her first x-rays. Taking them was uneventful but what we saw showed us we are in for lots of fun in the next 6 months. One of her six year molars is through the skin already and the other three are on the way. She is very proud of her adult tooth and is constantly trying to feel it now. The x-rays also showed that her front top and bottom adult teeth are starting to push on the baby tooth. Looks like we'll have a gap tooth grin here soon. The tooth fairy better get her engines warmed up too. How can she be this old? Seems impossible.
C didn't want to be left out of the action and showed of his 1st two year molar. Gums are swollen on the other three so I'm sure those will make an appearance soon as well. While the pediatrician and ENT assure me ear infections are not at all associated with teething we have seen the exact opposite with both kiddos and C unfortunately got one this week. Anyone else see this association with their little ones? Luckily for C his tubes are still in place and the ear drops are quickly addressing the infection.
