Jayden has to see a dentist every 3 months since before transplant he was unable to absorb any vitamins and his teeth got extremely discolored and some even decayed. They are trying to prevent any major cavities or damage to his teeth and gums because of his extreme immunosupression oral hygiene is very important. He can't really have any anesthesia (gas etc) it would harm his liver so we are trying to prevent any of this from happening!
As you can see Jayden HATES dentists, this is how Jamie and I have to hold him down every morning and every night to make sure we clean every surface of his mouth and try to prevent cavities. It's one of the things he hates the worst aside from blood work which we also had to do today.
Jayden was exhausted from crying at the dentist he fell asleep in my arms waiting for the RN to come and draw his labs. He slept for like 20 minutes then we had to wake him for blood work poor guy had a rough day today.
