Bobo's teech

Teh once asked about baby teeth issue...

Bobo went for her second dentist check 2 weeks ago. Basically with 4 more teeth, Bobo's all milk teeth will be in position. Her bottom jaw needs to be monitored carefully, it may still be too early to tell. Perhaps once the adult teeth are in position, then can judge whether the bottom jaw goes bit front than the upper jaw. Anyway I am bit worried.

Lately Bobo had another ear infection, so she had to take some antibiotics. As a result, there is bit black stuff building up in her bottom teeth. That was dentist's speculation, and he requests us to brush her teeth carefully.

Dentist strictly orders that only give baby main meals, no snacks and milk given in between during the day. Try not to give juice but only water. We are not doing very well in this respect. Bobo likes snacks. Dentist also recommends to give 1-2 troche after each meal.

Today I went to buy a pair of MAM teeth brush for her, since Bobo has been biting the old ones. They are worn out. Well, these are not cheap teeth brush anyway, costs more than 7euro. Of course finally I bought correct troche, last time I accidentally bought kids chewing gum.

This set of teeth brush is used for both parents and baby. Parents can use the longer one to brush while baby is using the shorter one. That's why there is a plastic ring to prevent baby put it too deep into the mouth. The other side of the tooth brush is mainly for baby biting. But somehow, Bobo is not interested in that but the brush head. :-( This set may not be the softest, since Bobo also has other brand of tooth brush is much softer, such as Jordan and Colgate.
