Cavities

What's with being a mom and having lots of cavities? I went in 6 months ago; 3 cavities. I just got 2 filled this morning. Is it my horrible addiction to cinnamon bears? Is it because I was pregnant and nursing for a few months last year? Am I not eating enough Ca2+ fortified food? Is it just because I'm a mom? I brush and floss every night, and Paul's a hit and miss. Why does he have no cavities?

Make sure you ask your dentist and maybe also your doctor. There's also that terrible "X" factor, the piece none of us can figure out. Cody gets lots of cavities too. Maybe it's genetic? In the meantime, just try to be positive: you can go into labor on your own. You can raise way cute kids. You can run half marathons and beyond. I'd say you're doing pretty awesome.

I think it's a pregnancy thing. I had few cavities before having kids, and many after. My last dentist appointment after having Alexa my teeth were terrible.
