Teeth Diagnosis


Before

after
Well the dentist did not have any good news for us about Henry's teeth. One of his front teeth is cracked at the root and both front teeth will most likely have bruising/discoloration. On top of that he has six cavities and that's just what he can see. Since he's so young we have to go to the hospital to have them filled and that's not covered by insurance, so we're looking at over $1,000 to have everything fixed. Merry Christmas.

6 cavaties?! I'd better take Nate to the dentist, but maybe I'll wait til after Christmas. Poor Henry, poor Justin and Amelia.

Hey Amelia,

Don't worry. You can hold off on cavities a little bit. Cut back on sugar items and brush his teeth a lot. Just worry about the two front teeth. I'm glad they are not his perm. teeth and I hope it does not cause damage to them. Thankfully the dental industry has learned how to do amazing things!

oh amelia--just read about henry's teeth and i feel sick for you. i completely understand how you feel because sawyer had an accident that caused one of his top two teeth to be pushed in, looking a lot like henry. the good news is that it did come back into place and has not turned brown. but henry's injury seems that it was a bit worse. i am SO sorry and so hope everything works out okay. i'll pray for the little guy . . . xox laurel
