Re: teeth - dental hygienist response

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Sorry for the late response. My mom is a pediatric/special needs

dental hygienist (although Emerence is the only SGA/RSS kid t hey

see)...her answer was that 16 months is late however, it does

happen. Secondly, you can see some teeth so that is good. Some may

still be missing but even if you took an xray there is nothing a

dentist could do for you except tell you to wait.

My thoughts - have you given a NUK brush to chew to help

stimulate the gums? OUr OT also got Emerence another chewy thing

shaped like a " P " but the name escapes me...

How is doing with Periactin?

> Thank you to those who replied for my questions on teeth. I can

see an outline in 's gums of teeth, but, no she is not biting on

things like my boys did when they were getting their teeth. I am

just going to be patient and wait, nothing else really to do about it

anyway right? Jane mom to - 16 months on the 8th - and gumming

her way up in the world!
