Getting long in the tooth

Thumper has a second tooth, just cut through yesterday, only 7 weeks after the first tooth made it's appearance. At this rate, she should get her full set of 20 baby teeth just in time for them to all fall out when the adult teeth come through!

In other teeth news, DeepSpice and I went to the dentist two weeks ago. It's been a long time between appointments - I hadn't been since before I was pregnant with Thumper and for DeepSpice, I think it has been even longer!

We took BallFiend along for the 'experience' - he got to see the set-up and the dentist gave him a free tube of toothpaste. I had X-rays taken and my teeth cleaned with the sand-blaster thingy that dentists use these days. My dentist found the beginnings of one cavity (though not serious enough to require urgent action). But here's the really unfair bit: DeepSpice's teeth were fine! Not a hole in sight... and he doesn't even floss (or at least I never see him do it). Humph!

One last tooth-related thing while I'm on the topic: a while ago BallFiend described his toothbrush as a 'teethbrush' and we realised he is right. It should be called a teethbrush, unless like Thumper (until yesterday), you only have one tooth.

  1. I do floss, though probably not as often as you do...
