But I don't have ...It kind of did suck at the time. But I don't have a fear of dentists as a result or anything, even though the idiot didn't freeze my face properly and I felt them yanking out my teeth.<BR/><BR/>But ya know, to some degree, the development of cavities has a lot to do with the makeup of the teeth themselves, which is genetic. Some people get cavities even though they take care of their teeth well, and others never have any problems even though they're really sloppy about their dental care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24629296.post-1158983340747264332006-09-22T20:49:00.000-07:002006-09-22T20:49:00.000-07:00Melora~I think I WILL stick with what's working. ...Melora~I think I WILL stick with what's working. I mean, I DO brush those teeth, and it's not the end of the world if she gets a cavity.<BR/><BR/>Pink~Ha ha, yeah, thanks.<BR/><BR/>Sarah~Well, I'm glad your mouth turned out ok in the end, but I sure hope my kid doesn't end up with a bunch of cavities. One or two, ok, but a whole mouth? That'd suck!<BR/><BR/>Trica~Thanks! And coming from a NURSE too!

They don't expect you to come in on her birthday! <BR/><BR/>You seem very sensitive - nobody is trying to tell you that you are a bad mother...even public health professionals don't follow every little guideline. Take it all with a grain of salt. <BR/><BR/>You are obviously a great mom if you are concerned about your little one and WANT to learn and do everything you can to keep her healthy and happy. <BR/><BR/>I've seen you with baby, and you do a great job. She's a lucky babe, and the next one will be too! <BR/><BR/>(I want to erase it because it's sappy, but it's true, so I'll leave it :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24629296.post-1158903126488290412006-09-21T22:32:00.000-07:002006-09-21T22:32:00.000-07:00Forget it. You know what? By the time I was six, I...Forget it. You know what? By the time I was six, I had like 5 cavities and a couple absesses in my mouth. I had to have a bunch of teeth pulled because I had never been to the dentist. I didn`t like brushing my teeth so I tricked my mom into thinking I did it, and she gave me as much milk and juice as I wanted. Now, this all sounds terrible, but the point is that NONE of this had a lasting effect! I had absolutely no cavities in my adult teeth between age 5 (when they started to come in) and age 24 (when I finally developed a tiny cavity because I don`t floss often enough). Furthermore... calcium is good for the kid! She`ll thank you when she`s old and doesn`t have osteoporosis!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24629296.post-1158894488217425962006-09-21T20:08:00.000-07:002006-09-21T20:08:00.000-07:00Ignore them. What your health care professionals ...Ignore them. What your health care professionals don't know won't hurt them, and the stuff they are fussing about certainly won't hurt your child. If the milk tastes better out of a bottle (and it evidently does) and the juice and water taste better out of sippy cups (and juice in a sippy cup doesn't end up on the floor!), I say stick with what is working.Melorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285358490646455774noreply@blogger.com
