Dental Appointment went well. He checked her spacer and scraped any excess glue off around it. Checked her teeth and no cavities. She has been complaining of her tooth hurting on the bottom left hand side. He said it wasn't the tooth but she did have a red area on her gum beside the tooth,maybe irritated by something she ate that may have scraped/poked her gum.
She doesn't have to go back for 6 months this time! For anyone that doesn't know, Angel had the soft preemie baby teeth that were prone to cavities and would sometimes crumble. Her permanent teeth don't seem to be effected except for needing braces at a later time.
Now if we could just get all her other specialists and other appointments every 6 months we would be set lol .

this is a very random thing to blog about, not in a bad way, just a "oh a child's dentist evaluation" way. lol if that makes sense
Not at all. This blog is about a child born at 25 weeks gestation and the problems/issues that come along with prematurity. It doesnt end just because they are released from the NICU.
If I can help just ONE preemie parent out there who may be concerned about their preemies baby teeth and give hope that the issue can be overcome then it's all worth it to me,wish I had the same inspiration long ago.
But if you have never had a preemie it wouldnt be anything you could understand
