    Dentist checkup

    Both girls have very small mouths for all their teeth. After looking
    at an xray of Monti’s front teeth the dentist is pretty sure that
    Monti’s front teeth won’t come in for a long time. The two lateral
    teeth are blocking the way for her 2 adult front teeth to come in. She
    is recommending that we extract the next two baby teeth so that the
    adult teeth will have a clear path. If her jaw doesn’t start catching
    up with her teeth we will have to do more work to expand her jaw. This
    can be done using retainers.

    Monti’s getting a cavity filled

    On Monti’s brand new molar they found a small cavity. The dentist told
    me her molars are really “groovy” and not in a cool way. She told me
    there was a good chance that the cavity could have formed before it
    erupted fully from the gum. Not sure if this was true but I sense she
    was trying to ease my guilt. After they filled the tooth without
    novocaine the dentist added a sealant on the molar.
