Yep, Hayes BROKE A TOOTH! This is not late-breaking news or anything. It happened a day or so before his one-year (read 13-month) check-up. I noticed that his b-e-a-u-tiful right top front tooth was the victim of trauma! Thankfully, it was not jagged and he never acted as if this bothered him.
So we went to our scheduled MD appointment and she recommended that he start seeing a dentist regularly anyway (at 1-year?!). So we made an appointment with a pediodontist who was as sweet and bubbly as she could be. Hayes, however, does not trust anyone trying to pry his lips open for any reason! Fortunately, on their first visit, the dentist said that she just likes to look and not try to do anything major because she wants the babies to start feeling comfortable with the dentist office.
She said that the break in the tooth is just through the enamel and so shouldn't bother him when he drinks etc. She also said that she doesn't recommend any intervention and that we can discuss cosmesis when he's 3-4 (I don't see that happening!). I'll try to take a picture but he doesn't really smile a toothy-grin on command :)
