Today was Nate's first trip to the dentist. Jen and I have been a little concerned that only 6 of his bottom teeth have come in so we scheduled an appointment with a dentist who specializes in special needs patients.
Dr. Graham was great and Jen & I could not have been more pleased with the visit. He spent a few minutes looking at Nate and then spent the next 30 minutes just talking with us. He asked a lot of questions about Nate, SMA, his life and his medical care. Basically, he said that we should just continue to be patient and wait for his baby teeth to come in. He did not see any cause for concern at this point. He told us that he was going to call a few oral surgeons to get their thoughts and that he would call us back later that afternoon. We were pleasantly surprised that he called back less than 2 hours later to let me know that they agreed with his assessment.
After the dentist, Jen & Sue took Nate to Incredible Pizza and he had a great time. He was full of smiles and made sounds throughout his visit. Needless to say, he was pretty worn outwhen they got home and he fell asleep almost immediately after they got him squared away in bed.
The Little Man is watching Veggie Tales as I type this update and we all look forward to a restful night.
Thanks for checking in on Nate...
