I took my dd to the dentist today. He said there was a hole in her back tooth. He was very good and had her seen to by a female dentist straight away (because dd was inexplicably wary of the male dentist ) who scraped out the 'bugs' and filled it.
It was all very painless and quick, but still I feel like the world's worst mum
Dd is nearly 3, and I would say her diet is balanced. Added to that, I clean her teeth morning and night, and she does them herself after lunch at nursery.
Dh and I have terrible teeth with lots of fillings and extractions between us, and I was desperate for this not to be the case with dd. I'm so sad and embarrassed :-(
What can I do to prevent any futher cavities? What would be the best breakfast cereal to eat? Obviously, she only drinks water but loves fruit- this is full of sugar though isn't it?

I'm so ashamed- my 2 year old had to have a filling today...
