Noah has a cavity and it is all totally my fault. UGH.
I who have spent more time in a dentist office before the age of 10 than most people do in their whole life–I have spent so much time in the dentists office that I could earned my DDS or DMD and still have extra hours put in. I was born without enamel on my teeth and that brought with it a whole host of problems.
It is on the tooth that he chipped at age 1 and is in the back up on the gum line–a pretty common place I’m told. Noah has to get a filling–he won’t need a shot. I feel like a complete failure. If anyone knows the importance of dental hygiene it’s me. I have been too lax with the teeth brushing, etc and now my kid is paying for it. Just when I was feeling good about parenting. Now, not so much.

The fact that you feel that way shows how loving you are…put that head back up where it belongs !!

I remember feeling like that when my first kid got his first cavity, too! I think some kids are more prone to them than others, because none of my others have ever gotten cavities and he’s gotten 3 more since then.
