How can this even BE???

mr. flea took the Dillo to the dentist today. You may recall he'd had multiple cavities filled in January of this year. Well, now he apparently needs 4 caps, and one is so bad they might have to just pull the tooth and put in a spacer until the permanent tooth comes in.

We brush the child's teeth. They took x-rays in January and took care of everything that showed up at all. And yet in the ensuing 6 months, he got cavities so bad he now needs caps and might lose a tooth? What the hell?

I have horrifically bad teeth, and I floss and brush religiously. I've honestly lost track of how many root canals I've had (maybe 9?), but I do remember having 4 (in one session!!) when I was 15. It's genetics, same as having bad knees or a bad thyroid. I'm sorry Dillo's having to go through it, though.
