First dentist visit

Raphael had his first dentist visit today. They talked about:
  • the possibility of brown adult teeth because of repeated high temperatures,
  • he has an obvious under-bite
  • seems to have a flat nose ares (possibly due to CPAP mask?)
  • any major dental work will probably have to be done under general anaesthetic because of the risks associated with his possible ASD (heart defect).
  • to reduce the chance of major dental work it will be a good idea to apply a protective layer over his teeth when he is older.
  • frequent visits (every 3 to 6 moths) will be beneficial to make sure that we catch any problems early and also to get Raphael comfortable at the dentist.
