A Check Up at the Dentist

Hannah went to the dentist today for a cleaning and a check up. We've been concerned about her teeth because she grinds them something awlful when she sleeps, so hard that it's waken us up on a couple of occassions! My mom has said the same of when she's spent the night at her house. The dentist said the grinding is wearing her teeth down, but because they are baby teeth and will fall out anyways, they don't do anything about it. Not to mention that kids this age commonly won't keep a mouth guard in at night anyways, so that's a couple of hundred dollars more times than not, a waste of money. He said we'll hope she outgrows it once her permanent teeth come in, if not, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. But we're happy to report Hannah had no cavities and the hygenist says that she has the beginnings of a loose tooth!!!! Boy was Hannah excited about that!!!
