Back in April, we took Ethan to the dentist. He noticed that he had ONE cavity, and recommended that we come back in July to clean his teeth and check them out more thoroughly. Ethan wasn't the greatest patient, so we knew it would take some time before they could get a GOOD look. So, in July we went back to the dentist and he recommended a Pediatric dentist because Ethan started having some pain on two teeth. We went and had some X-Ray's done. That is when we learned that he had EIGHT cavities and one was pretty bad. She mentioned that he may need a root canal. We scheduled today to get the cavities filled under sedation.
Today, when the dentist came out she told us he need FOUR root canals. How in the WORLD does a four year old need FOUR root canals, I asked. She said....FLOSS! Now, who flosses their four year olds teeth? REALLY??? That's what caused them? You have to be kidding me!! Nate and I feel like the worst parents ever!! Thank God for baby teeth. It's like a second chance!!

poor guy! I think it has to be a bit more than flossing! goodness! You know you hear of people who just cannot tolerate much sugar on their teeth. Maybe he is one of them! Hope he feels better tomorrow!
