Teeth & Tylenol

Poor Everett. He's been drooling and chewing on his fingers (and just about everything else) to soothe his gums. :o( I looked in his mouth today; looks like he has 7 teeth up top with one more peeking through and 8 teeth on the bottom. I can definitely feel his molars coming in.

Wish I found this tooth chart sooner. Currently, he has eight teeth on top (#'s 1-4) and eight teeth on bottom (#'s 1-4). Several more molars are on their way. Tylenol has become part of our daily routine, once again.

A few months ago, I looked into several (pediatric) dentists in our area for Everett's 1st appointment visit. All three offices suggested we wait until he turned two, unless he wasnt brushing regularly or if we had reason to believe there was a problem.

Well, here we are two months away from his his two year birthday, and we have an appointment. Apparently his first visit will introduce him to all the fun gadgets - water sprayer, suction, mirror, etc. all while sitting on mom's lap. He'll also get to choose a fun toothbrush, brush and count his teeth.

In the meanwhile, we'll continue brushing, chewing and drooling all while waiting for more teeth to erupt.
