First trip to the dentist

Mina Brigitta just needed a quick checkup to make sure she didn't need any teeth extracted before the BMT. The good news is that her teeth all look just fine. The bad news is that all four of her remaining molars are starting to come in, and they could take up to six months. This is bad because the teeth breaking through the gum is a major potential source of infection. It would have been nice if they'd held off for a few months, but I'm sure they've dealt with kids getting teeth before. I guess we'll see what the BMT team has to say.
