Huh?? Said I ...
He checked L's teeth and xrays. The 2 teeth that have huge cavities are lodged firmly in the gum, the xrays show healthy bone beneath the root. One tooth, about 30% of the tooth has fallen away leaving behind an incomplete white tooth, xrays show that the nerve has pulled away from the surface. The dentist said that is nature's way of protecting the tooth.
We compared xrays from last year to this year. Dentist said that there looks like minor progression, however, xrays are not accurate at that level of detail, so he was going more on how the tooth and gum looked visually and in the xray.
He said - goodbye ... you are doing great.
I sat there blinking.
His other teeth are doing great. Permanent teeth look fabulously healthy - strong white enamel.
I am still cautiously optimistic. We are still on the diet for the most part, although I let him have grain now and then. At home we still have bone broth every day and fish oil most days. I have sprouted or fermented stuff for him and limit pasta. I kind of made a lifestyle change for him and me and now it is not a struggle to eat grain free for the most part.
I know I will have won the battle when those teeth fall out and are replaced by the adult teeth .. until then I know that I might need to pay the piper any day ...
I will post xrays of his teeth when I get them.
