Dentist Visit

Today Robert went to the dentist for his 6 month check up. Robert goes to a pediatric dentist on the west side of Indy, I highly recommend that everyone take their child to a pediatric dentist. Robert's dentist has a basketball court and a coloring corner to make the visit a lot more relaxing for the kids. It works, until it is time to see the hygienist! He was not interested in letting her brush his teeth but was much better for the dentist. He has no cavities and the dentist said his teeth look good, but we discussed his bite and "The Marshall Gap." The Marshall Gap is from my side of the family and is a large gap between the upper front teeth. It will require him to have a muscle clipped when he is 7 or 8. As far as his bite, his lower jaw is shifted to the left and will require a retainer. Who would have thought that at age 4, we would already be discussing retainers! Thank goodness for dental insurance!
