Luke went to the dentist yesterday for the 3rd time and got a great report! We were so happy. With the amount of junk our 3 year old tries to consume I thought for sure we were doomed for a cavity. Something new in our routine Dr. Mike suggested is we start flossing. I guess his molars are now touching. Have you ever tried flossing a 3 year old? There are huge variations in the interpretation of open you mouth wider, relax your lips, close you mouth some, etc. etc. we ended up in a giggly fit before we were done. Thank goodness we only have to do it once on each side, top and bottom. Above is what they recommended we use.
