Well we've had a quite a bit of sickness lately. It started with Kylee before the Zoo, Summer at and after the Zoo, then Jenna after Summer. Jenna was the worst. Fevers, coughs and no sleep. Thankfully she is back to her normal self now.
This picture is not my sweet Jenna. She never just lays there. So sad. It was sad until Monday. She was eating again and hadn't had a fever since the Friday before, so I new she was better, but she was still cranky and wanted to be held. By then I didn't feel as bad anymore. Then I was just annoyed. Today I noticed though, that her eye teeth are finally about to come in! Poor kid. Everything happened at once! I'm just glad she's back to normal.
The girls dressed themselves for Dr. Seuss' birthday. Thing one and Thing two of course. I did their hair. That explains a lot huh. I don't do hair! Never have never will. I'm glad Kylee and Summer like to. (My sister Cynthia did my hair more than I did growing up. I think that is partly why I keep mine short.)
Then on Thursday Summer, Logan and I had our 6 month dental check ups. Everything went great! Summer's front tooth was definitely ready to come out and she asked the dentist to pull it. Pop, and out it came. She was so excited! And she had no cavities!
I also had no cavities. But of course they recommend I replace two crowns and a filling. Probably not. Then it came to Logan. He did awesome. They got x-ray's he was so happy the whole time and did great. But then I found out that he has 11 cavities and it would cost $700 dollars to fix them! Oh my gosh! Are you kidding me! There is no way I would spend that much on a almost 4 year old's teeth. Even if it's the teeth he'll have till he's 12 or so. I won't spend that much on me!
Recently I have learned a lot about using plants that our Heavenly Father made to help our bodies. So I looked into how to clean and fix cavities. I can afford $50 dollars, not $700! My awesome sister and nutritionist, Cynthia, told me about x-ceptic and Complete Bone and Tissue. They both are made up of plants that can help heal. The x-ceptic has garlic, cayenne, comfrey, and Golden Seal in it (and a couple more things) But together they will kill any germs in there eating his tooth, and start to heal the hole. The Complete Bone and Tissue will also help with healing the hole. They both do not taste good, and in fact, recently the FDA made them put on the bottle of x-ceptic that it is for external use only, even though these herbs have been used internally safely since the beginning of time. So I put a drop on every tooth with a cavity, daily after he brushes his teeth.
I will also brush and floss his teeth twice a day, even after they heal! I could have prevented this in the first place. He brushes his teeth every night. Just not good enough, and I never flossed :( Anyway, I will also give him the Complete Bone and Tissue three times a day in some juice. I look forward to the next 6 month check up, so I can look at the x-rays and see how well it worked! I'll let you know!

Holy cow. That's a lot of cavities. Some people's enamel is just naturally weaker. Let me know if the stuff works. That would be awesome.
Your poor baby! Glad she's feeling better now. I sure hope this cavity stuff works for Logan. It's hard to determine if your kids are brushing well enough. And what mom wants to go through a brush every kid's teeth every day!
Isn't it great to have the Lord plants to help strengthen our teeth and bodies.
I'm glad you posted about those. I've been trying to find some natural ways to heal my boys "Bentley" teeth without spending 1000s of dollars on them. So thanks for sharing I'm going to have to try those.
