So I went to see the dentist for the first time last week. Mommy sat me in the chair and I was calm. They even put the paper bib on me and I was still calm. The the dentist, Dr. Yu, opened my mouth too look inside and out came the tears! He counted my teeth and checked to see how my teeth looked. The first thing he noticed was a have a very low maxillary labial fraenum, it is the piece of tissue that attaches the upper portion of gum to the upper lip. Basically this means that my upper lip is attached to my gum right in between my two front teeth, and this is causing a slight gap in my teeth. He said Mommy and Daddy have to pay extra attention when brushing my front teeth as they are harder to get at because of this. He said it is not that uncommon and his daugther is the same way. Other then a gap in the front of my teeth, there is really no harm in it. It can be corrected with surgery if one wanted to do that. Or the gap may close itself as I get older and get my adult teeth in. We will see what happens I guess!
