Teeth

Not Timothy's teeth, though we are expecting some any day now, based on the drooling and gnawing. This post is about my teeth, and Liam's teeth.

I had to get two fillings today. I have crossed some threshhold where medical professionals are now just as likely to be younger than me as older. I guess that means I'm (gasp) middle aged?!

I took Liam in for his first dental exam last week. I joked around the whole time, asked Dr. Burt where Dr. Ernie was, and put a surgical mask on our stuffed dog. Liam did great! He was 99% cooperative, all except for getting the X-ray films in the back of his mouth, but the dentist said kids that age still have a very strong reflex to push things out with their tongue and gag, so they hardly can ever get X-rays for 3-year-olds.
