Coffee break

[ailbhe]

Decaf coffee and the last Oreo.

I'm rising bread; I feel badly enough about Emer's teeth that I'm making all the white bread with eggs and calcium-enriched rice milk. I'd feed her chalk if I thought it would help. Eggs and beans and calcium rice milk and brown pasta and brown rice... what else has calcium in it? We're practically letting her eat fluoride toothpaste.

I keep hearing about Xylitol but she's only two. So I'm really not sure. Besides, sweets with Xylitol often have acids and things too.

Oh, sure. You know your own kid's teeth. I'm just sayin' that they might have broken even if they'd been healthy.

Yep. I know other kids who have broken teeth who overall have healthy teeth. One of my son's friends broke a brand-new adult tooth, and the dentist said that, because it was so new, there was a good chance it would just continue growing. Apparently touching the opposite teeth is their signal to stop growing. Which is totally irrelevant to this thread, but I thought it was really neat.

That IS a very neat thing!
