Max's First Dentist Appointment

This week, Max had his 1st dentist appointment!! We took him to a children's dental office that was referred to us by Max's genetics doctor. Max did OK during the examination although he got fussy towards the end. The examination didn't take more than a couple minutes. I mentioned to the dentist that Max is cutting his molars but they look like they are coming in sideways. He said they are not coming in sideways, but with a cusp on each one (like another piece of tooth growing on the molar). He said that just because his baby teeth are coming in with the cusp doesn't mean that his permanent teeth with have the cusps. There was nothing additional that needed to be done at this time and I made another appointment for six months out and also scheduled Ava an appointment with him. This way I will be able to take Ava and Max together instead of making two trips to the dentist every six months for the kids. I think Ava will enjoy this office so much better since it is geared towards kids. She currently goes to the same dentist I see.
