Visit to the Derma, Pedia, and Dentist

Last Monday, we went to the Dermatologist to have Griffin's skin checked. He has some red spots on his face, arms and chest. I think his skin got irritated by the Vaseline Anti-Dandruff shampoo. He was given cream to apply on the red spots. Hopefully, the spots would disappear. After the derma, we went to his Pediatrician for his check-up. He weighed 29 pounds and was measured, to my surprise, to be 38 inches tall.

The next day, I brought him to the dentist to have his front tooth fixed again, hopefully the filling doesn't come off anymore. The dentist told me that Griffin might be swallowing toothpaste because he seems to have fluorosis, that's why he has brown stains on some of his teeth. It's so sad that aside from cavities, he even has fluorosis. I didn't think that he'd still be swallowing toothpaste because he knows how to spit. When I asked him the last time he brushed if he swallowed the toothpaste, he said, "Yes". That's why this time, I squeeze very little toothpaste on his toothbrush and remind him not to swallow the toothpaste. We're going back to the dentist tomorrow, to fix another tooth. He still has more cavities and I promised to buy him a Power Ranger when he has ZERO cavities already.
