Link's First Visit To Dentist

Now that Link is 1, we took him to the dentist for his first check-up. They had had a couple emergencies, so they were running over an hour late (unusual for them). Poor Link was tired and hungry by the time we got to see Dr. Thomas. He was not a big fan of her poking around in his mouth, either. He got a good report on his teeth, though, and we noticed that his top left molar has come in. Still has the 4 front on top and 2 front on bottom. Looks like the next 2 bottom teeth will be coming soon, though. We discussed the gap between his 2 front teeth and she said we'll leave it until he gets braces. Then we'll snip the frenulum to allow the teeth to move in. It is a fairly easy proceedure, but I'm glad we won't have to do it for several more years. Besides, I like his gap -- it gives him character.
