Dentist Appointments, Round 2

Josh, E, J, and G had their dentist appt this afternoon. We still have a count of 0 for cavities. Whoo hoo! However ...

E may have to have a tooth pulled. One of her molars she lost on the bottom is being prevented from coming up by the tooth in back of it. Because the space has been there a while, her bottom front teeth are migrating over to fill in the empty space, too, and they no longer line up correctly with her top teeth. The dentist said we need to schedule an appt to discuss this. Because of her bottom front teeth moving over, she may have to have some kind of orthodontia done in the future.

G's top 2 eyeteeth have been missing for a while, and the dentist also mentioned that if they don't come in soon, G may have to have something done, too, (Teeth pulled? I'm not sure.) to prevent his teeth from moving over and filling in the empty spaces and keeping his permanent teeth from coming in like E's.

And Josh still needs to get his temporary crown replaced with a permanent one, but we knew that already.

Atleast J's dental report was good, and he doesn't need any follow-up.
