Perty Teeth


 The Walker children made it to the dentist yesterday.  5 of the 6 saw the dentist, (Bryson being the loner since he has no teeth). It was rather tricky event, but everyone made it through and mom is glad. 

 Brody didn't like the noise at all!
He allowed them to clean his teeth, but no way was he going to let the dentist check for cavities or put on the fluoride.  :)
 He enjoyed playing video games.
 Abby, bless her heart.  She has 3 cavities!  She's due back next month to get those filled.  :(
 Bree and Alyssa had 0 cavities!
They had a good time watching Rapunzel.

 Andrew didn't have any cavities.

The dentist recommended that we have him seen by an orthodontist.  Andrew has a lot of teeth crowding.  He also has all 4 wisdom teeth.
We had some disturbing news as well.  Here is a panoramic of Andrew's teeth.  They're sending it to a jaw surgeon.  There is a "Suspicious" area on his bottom jaw underneath the 4 middle teeth.  They aren't sure what the white blotches are?  I asked them what "Suspicious" means.  They said it could be infection,  cancer, a poor picture, etc.  I should hear back within the week.  I'll keep you posted.

Got a call from Dr. Searle's office yesterday. They sent the x-ray to a jaw surgeon. The jaw surgeon wasn't concerned. He said it looks like the spine is coming through on the x-ray. They'll do another x-ray in 6 months. :)
