We were told that T needs to come in every 3 months to have his teeth cleaned until his braces come off today. Not news that we wanted to hear but he's not been cleaning his teeth as good as he should and they are trying to keep him from getting a gum disease that could cause major problems for T down the road. Of course his dad and I have already had a stern talk with him too about the way he's brushing his teeth as well and he's fixing to change his bad habits now!!! He's going to brush and floss more and he's going to take better care of his teeth from here on out. Thankfully though, even with all this that we are dealing with, T still has had no cavities to address. That's amazing considering it took them an hour to do a cleaning that should have taken about 30 minutes. It was a painful lesson for him to learn as they cleaned his teeth today and I hope it's a lesson he takes to heart and makes the necessary changes to make sure he never goes in with his teeth like that ever again to his dental appointment. They look really good now though as you could tell in the pic above.
