Baby’s first cavity 😭

Omg so I am completely shocked! I brush my son’s teeth twice a day. Once in the am with a natural toothpaste and once before bed with a fluoride one as recommended by my friend who’s a dental hygienist (our city doesn’t have fluoride in the water). Since day one he has REALLY been refusing to open his mouth and getting his bottom front teeth is a struggle. But I thought I was doing okay.

So yeah, first dentist appt was today and he already has a CAVITY on his bottom front tooth. FML. I feel like such a shit mom.

He doesn’t use bottles. He only drinks milk and water during the day however I will make him fruit/veggie smoothies usually twice a week. She said I shouldn’t do that anymore as the drink will sit on his teeth.

I’m blown away! Also sad because smoothies are the only way this kid gets his veggies 😭🤦🏻‍♀️ he drinks out of straw sippy cups so I thought it was fine.

Anyone else have a dentist appt for their baby yet?
