Sophia has one cavity which is stellar considering that three and a half years ago her teeth were already showing signs of decay. Way to go girl! So proud! One one trip to the dentist for a filling and she's all good until next year's visit.
I do not have the same positive dental experiences as the kids. Mine reflect Zack's early visits! I nearly always have 5 or more cavities. I'm glad that the kids are creating habits that will help prevent that.
Kenny will eventually need braces, but for now, the only work that must be done soon is one filling. Praise God!!! For those of you who have or are adopting kids, I hope this is an encouraging report. I sincerely thought Zack would have dental issues for life due to malnutrition and lack of brushing for his first 4+ years of life, but I was wrong. Kids coming out of an orphanage situation are a canvas yet to be painted. It is so amazing to see not only my own, but also so many other adopted kids flourishing.

Yay! I was always at the dentist chair. Luckily Kristina either has good genes, extra active bug killing saliva, or who knows what because we are not at the recommended mouth hygiene levels but no signs of decay and beautiful white teeth. She went to baby house at 10 months… I keep warning her of the potential of cavities…it will take one time for her to understand that it is not fun. Any way I am always puzzled/fascinated by how some people go all their lives without cavities and some of us have crown after crown.
