#ParentFailure

So, Camden had his dental check-up a few weeks ago and much to my dismay, he had 4 small cavities. I know it is silly, but I felt like the biggest failure as a parent. Did I let him have too much juice? Is he not brushing good enough? Should I not let him have fruit snacks? After catching my runaway thoughts, I realized we are doing everything right-he may just have teeth prone to cavities.
Now, there was a bit of apprehension on returning to the dentist to get the said cavities filled. Camden doesn't really enjoy the dentist in the first place. But I was pleasantly surprised. We had two visits and he was a little quiet after the first one. He didn't care for the numb feeling. And he was a little teary when I had to leave him for the second visit, but he came out happy as can be.  A pediatric dentist has been awesome for this kiddo. Now, let's hope we can prevent more cavities with a little extra diligence.

Yep, that's how we feel about the dentist around here....
