Pain Tolerance and teeth

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Just thought I chime in too! has a high pain tolerance and does

not bruise easily. I have a question, over the summer went to the

dentist for the first time. I have always notice that he has a space

between his bottom teeth. The space has become smaller over time. The

dentist informed me that 's two bottom teeth have never come in, and

he said not to worry because a lot of time if kids with Ds don't get all of

their baby teeth their secondary teeth usually come in. His pediatrician

never even noticed that his bottom teeth were not there. Also the dentist

said that kids with Ds have large tongues and that keeps their teeth nice

and moist and they almost never get cavities. When will the medical

profession learn that kids with Ds do not have large tongues they tend to

have smaller mouths.

I was just wondering if anyone else's kids have baby teeth missing.
