I took the kids to the dentist the other day. We haven't been to the dentist for 18 months. Terrible, I know, but when you move, some things just fall through the cracks (See below.) Luckily, no one had cavities but Tritan has enamel hypoplasia and needs his teeth capped.
Athena and Paris have...an extra tooth. Growing from the roof of their mouths. I have never heard of this, although the hygenist said it was fairly common. I tried to google it but didn't get much reliable information. I was talking to Mom about it and it turns out she had an extra tooth growing from the roof of her mouth and had to wear braces when she was young. Sisters--did we know this about her?!
Anyway, both Athena and Paris have to have their extra teeth removed and will probably have to have braces. Paris' extra tooth is growing right where the two palatine bones meet in the roof of his mouth (yes, I googled that) and it's forcing his front two teeth apart--that's why he has that gap in his front teeth.
The amazing (wierd) thing is that the kids are actually excited to have braces. We'll see how they feel after they go to the orthodontist on Monday.
that is C-R-A-Z-Y. I did not know that about mom, but I have found there are lots of things like that about her we don't know! because when does it come up until you have kids with the same thing, ya know? good luck with the ortho. maybe if they have braces while young, they won't have be geeky teenagers with them. nice thought . . .
