Progress perhaps?

This morning was a little bit of a disaster. L's sleeping is a little off and so he is sleep deprived and hence very prone to tantrums.

He is also having a constipation issue which I need to figure out as he is eating very well.

Anyway, this morning he threw a fit so he did not get his TV show, neither his treats. I made him a smoothie (spaghetti squash, celery, carrot, dates, apricot and candied ginger + bone broth + komboucha) and I gave him a ghee+coconut+raw honey concoction I made up to make sure that he is getting enough Vita K to compensate extra Vit D to counteract Vit D poisoning if we are at higher levels of Vit D and I probably the only one who understood that .. Anyway ...

He said he did not like it, blah .. I explained that it has potassium and magnesium and calcium and fiber and even though he does not like it, he must have it. He has started to listen to this logic and now will eat something he does not like if I say it is healthy ... so he had the smoothie ..

Then his ghee sweet.

Then fish oil

Then homeopathic meds for teeth/bones/congestion.

Then I brushed his teeth and began flossing as usual ...

We were so late and Are was pacing around ... but no compromise on brushing and flossing ..

His lower jaw has the bigger cavities and I pay special attention to the premolars as they are such that they trap a lot of food. As I flossed his lower right premolar, something came up in the floss which looked weird .. hmm ... I knew what he had eaten and this did not look like it .. it kind of looked like a bit of carrot .. well, he ate it last night so perhaps some was left over from my flossing and brushing? I ran the floss through again .. and something else hardish and whitish /yellowish/orangish came up.... hmmm.....  WHAT is going on?

OHMIGOSH!!! Is this his tooth enamel? Is it crumbling? Are his teeth getting worse?

I sat him up, put all the lights on in my bright kitchen and looked closely at the tooth..... It looked white and beautiful and felt hard but the part that had the black spot on it IS GONE???? I shook my head trying to clear it ...

Looked again ...

Yup, just white tooth there ...

Deep breath ....

I called Are over, I know we are late, but I think I am losing my mind, can you please look? Am I losing my mind?

Are confirmed that there was no black on the tooth anymore, just white enamel. He told me that as he was brushing Leif's teeth last night he thought that a bigger piece of the blackish enamel came out and he repeated what he has been saying for days now, his teeth are looking really good ...

I will take pictures of his teeth today.

Here is what his right premolar looks like - see the indentation in what looks like a beautiful perfect tooth? Thats what his looks like ...

This was one of the websites I was pointed to by various hippie mothers ...

I remain ever watchful though as I am terrified that his teeth are worsening on the inside. Every day I check his gumline and watch him carefully to make sure that he is not in pain ....

Sept 15th is when we go for our next set of xrays and will know ... if we make it to then, I think we are out of the woods ...
