I took Penguin Girl to the dentist a couple of days ago. It had been about a year since her last cleaning and exam as I had been lax about making the appointment to bring her back. She got x-rays for the first time since her 6-year molars came in and pressed her teeth close together. And the x-rays showed eight (EIGHT!) cavities. Two of them are enormous. The dentist already warned that there may not be enough tooth left to fill them in which case they would need to be extracted! She goes back to see him on Monday to get half of them filled. Meanwhile, we are now brushing and flossing up a storm.
