1st Dentist Appointment

At Priya's 12 month appointment, Dr. Cline told us that he thought Priya had bottle rot (for those of you who don't know what bottle rot is, it is a decay of a baby's teeth that is caused by having formula or juice on your teeth too much. It usually happens from sleeping with a bottle). We didn't put Priya to sleep with a bottle all the time, but I admit it, on occasion we would put her to bed with one. I felt so bad! It is horrible when, as a parent, there is something you may have done to hurt your baby's well-being. Dr. Cline suggested we take her to the dentist to see what we could do.

So, off we went to Dr. Lever's office. He has been our dentist for years, and he is freaking awesome! If anyone needs a great dentist, he's your man!

On a side note, I just have to point out- check out the awesome picture in the background. I thought it was so funny, I just had to share it:

And the dentist's verdict was... drumroll please...

Priya does not have bottle rot! Hooray!
The bad news is that the little spots on her teeth that the pediatrician saw are not just specks of leftover breakfast...
She is missing parts of her enamel on her front two teeth. Dr. Lever isn't sure if it is just genetic, and she was born with it, or if she maybe scraped it off in one of her many falls, but we just need to keep a close eye on it for a while.

No decay in sight!
