Logan had his second visit to the dentist today. Unlike his first visit six months ago, this time Logan received full service. It started by taking x-rays of his teeth, then cleaning by the hygienist. Logan was quite cooperative and eve
n willing to sit on the dental chair by himself as long as I held his hand; the TV in the ceiling definitely helped. Although he managed to tolerate his first experience of teeth cleaning, he was most reluctant to open his mouth wide for the back teeth cleaning. The hygienist and I had to do lots of convincing and he mostly complied. His teeth looked fine, no cavities. We just have to do a better job brushing his front two teeth and start flossing as well. We can also switch to toothpaste with fluoride. The main thing we learned today was that it is time to take away his pacifiers which Logan uses during sleep. They may be causing a small gap between his top and bottom teeth, but should quickly revert to normal when he stops using them. We will probably start the weaning over a weekend soon when we shake off this round of family colds.
