So Ethan is going to have some major dental work done on August 24th and because he is so young it will have to be done at White Plains Hospital under general anesthesia which is a little scary. He has tooth decay in his top front four teeth. The dentist says its from nursing at night which he did for a long time. I never heard that it would cause tooth decay and felt horrible. Then someone else said that because I did not drink flouridated water while pregnant in Honduras (when the teeth buds form) that he was predisposed to tooth decay anyway. So I guess it was a combination of things. Its sad though, I thought he'd have good teeth since he only ever drank milk and water, never juice or soda or candy or anything. But anyway, they are going to fill in the part that is decaying and any other decay he sees and then I guess I have to make sure he gets those regular flouride treatments. Its not something I ever even thought about but now I will. So keep him and us in your prayers that day. I will be sad seeing him if he's freaked out before being put under but he won't remember it and he won't be in much pain afterward so that's good.
