Ds was at the dentist for a check up and it turns out he needs 5 fillings. He is 12. The dentist was asking me about what we eat,brushing etc and I could see by her face that she thought I was lying but I wasn't.
Breakfast is porridge or cheerios with milk.
Teeth brushed.
Lunch in school is brown bread,turkey,butter sandwich,apple,banana and a special K yoghurt bar thing (low in sugar).
Dinner is usually homemade,things like savory mince,cassaroles,pasta bakes etc. Sauces are homemade.
Snacks are usually things like nuts,carrot sticks,a yoghurt.
Sweets or cakes are a rare treat and he always brushes before bed. He is only allowed fizzy drinks at parties and he's not the type to buy sweets and junk foods in the shop,he's very sporty so saves his money for new sports gear. I really wasn't expecting his teeth to be so bad,I feel like a shit parent.
