Teeth update

Gray teeth are fully in, green are being cut now

Conrad has been busy cutting teeth. All of his first molars are in and he is busy working on all four canines at once. At least he gets all of them over with at the same time. Unfortunately, I still have no seen any signs of his left side lateral incisors (both top and bottom). Nobody (pediatrician or my dentist) except me seems very concerned about it.

I would like his smile to even out some time. They did appease me saying I could take him in for x-rays to see if the teeth are there. For now, I'm just going to wait. Maybe after the canines are in, they will show up.

Not one but two

I should have guessed this since all of his other teeth have come in pairs, but I didn't. Conrad is getting both of his upper first molars. The second one has started to break through. Still no sign of his lateral incisors on the left side. Maybe he will catchup on those. In case inquiring minds want to know about the estimated eruption of baby teeth, enjoy the one above. I even shaded it for illustration. The dark gray is teeth Conrad already has in. The light gray molars are in progress.

Baby Molar

Starting Wednesday, Conrad cried when eating his snack with Dad and again at dinnertime. Since he already has 6 chompers and we haven't seen any new teeth in a while, I figured he must be teething. So I went digging--- only to have Conrad bite down on my finger making it difficult to see if any new teeth were poking through. I didn't find any.

His crying continued yesterday so I tried again....and low and behold his 1st baby molar is breaking through on the top, right side! The first time, I didn't go back far enough because I thhought it was the lateral incisors on his left side not a molar. It has already broken through but I'm not sure if it is completely through since the stinker insisted on biting down on my finger. Dad says he will be eating steak in no time!

So he now has all four central incisors. The right top & bottom lateral incisors and a baby molar on the right side. I guess he favors his right side since the left side has yet to produce any teeth. Conrad is great about brushing his teeth every night, but you guessed it, he bites down on finger brush every night too!
