Alex has had full mouth x-rays and while its still a bit too early to tell
if all his teeth are there, (some permanent teeth are still forming at 6
when he had the x-ray done) but they appear to be. There is one on the left
however that appears to be grossly deformed - but his dentist said that we
wont know for sure till it comes through............

Missing teeth however is not all that uncommon in the general population
anyway. At least thats what they told me when I asked why one of my
daughters was missing permanent teeth.
