What I wouldn't give to remember to take a camera to the dentist office when the Clark kids go to the dentist. Now let me start off with my kids are good as gold at the doctor and dentist. Of course the TV screens on the ceiling and the video games in the waiting room don't hurt....

Dylan and Tyler were called in first. Not 5 minutes into the exam one of the helpers comes to ask if we have a history of missing or extra teeth in our families.. Ha Ha there must be a reason they are asking this right? As far as I know we all have the right amount of teeth. No one has dentures and I don't think anyone has fangs.

They were a bit concered that Tyler hadn't lost any baby teeth. (I thought it was fine that he hadn't) Hence the question is there a history of missing teeth. Maybe he doesn't have any permanet teeth pushing them out. Oh Shit!!!!!!!

Okay it isn't quite that bad. Apparently sometimes the permanet teeth don't desolve the roots of the baby teeth all the way so the baby teeth dont' get loose and fall out. (Much better situation in my mind)

In Tyler's case all his baby teeth are still firmly planted, and his permanet teeth can't push them out. Unless some miracle happens in the next 3 months he will have several teeth pulled in January to allow progression of the Permanet teeth. He also needs to floss and rinse every night as he might be getting some cavities between his teeth.

Dylan also has a baby tooth that hasn't fallen out for the same reason. He has never had a problem before. So on October 1st - yank that puppy out. The dentist also says that he doesn't like the way his sealant looks on several teeth and there might be some stuff (decay) under them. We'll call me dumb but isn't the purpose of sealant to keep stuff out.... If we have sealants how is stuff getting under there, sounds like a warrenty issue if you ask me.

Jason is wonderful with his 20 teeth and he loves the little machine that sucks the spit out of your mouth.
