4.

his baby teeth formed in a town with non flouridated water. he should have better luck with the next set.

those polymer caps are far more likely to come off than the old fashoioned metal ones.

i didn't realize they'd put metal in underneath, though, so i had an odd moment looking at his mouth and seeing... shiny?

flouride in the water doesn't help adults, 'cause their teeth are all finished growing, but in toothpaste helps prevent decay.

his ature teeth are still growing. saw them on the xrays... kinda' cool, that.
