SE's first dentist visit

SE's permanent teeth have appeared, but they are BEHIND the milk teeth.  Thus both sets are happily co-existing - apparently this is common enough and is called 'shark teeth' since sharks have two rows of teeth.

Milk teeth in front, permanent ones at the back


Hubby took her to the dentist and sent me these pictures:

Let's check you and see

Let me tell you what you need to do


OK? Can understand?

I thought she was such a trooper and behaved well.  Apparently she was apprehensive at first though.  The dentist said the milk teeth were still strong.  But gave her 2 weeks to push at the teeth with her tongue in the hope of loosening them.

  1. Kids these days have strong milk teeth. So nice of the dentist to explain the situation to SE. Hope the milk teeth will loosen up within the 2 weeks.

  2. So is SE pushing her front milk teeth with her tongue every day now? What did she tell you about her dentist visit - how does she feel about it?

    2. Hmm she says she is. I'm working round the clock these days, don't remember if I asked her about it also.

  3. When you fix the appointment at dental clinic in St.Albert, you can carry your child along. He will get familiar with the surroundings and would not mind coming back again. The pediatric dentists clinics are mostly well equipped for kids, complete with toys and colorful walls to keep them busy and happy.

  4. do sharks have tongues? Indeed, sharks do have a tongue, known as basihyal. The basihyal is a thick piece of ligament that is situated on the lower part of the mouth.
