Dentistry in Kindergarten

Yesterday Little Geek Girl's kindergarten class went to see the school dentist in the next neighborhood.  She was sent home with a letter with the following choices:

--  We think your kid has cavities

--  We need to talk about your kid's teeth (braces)

--  Your kid's teeth need to be cleaned better

--  Your kid should come again next year with the class.

The fourth box was checked off so we're off the hook.  They even do fluoride treatments in class, but we never filled out the paperwork so LGG hasn't received any.  And I'm not sure she would go along willingly to have something icky tasting in her mouth.  

Since we're talking about teeth, her 2nd loose tooth still hasn't come out.  In the meantime, three other teeth have started getting loose.  We've been calling her a shark because you can see the adult tooth right behind the loose but not coming out tooth.
