You might remind your son about his cavities, he can either have more, or use the spin brush(or other) and prevent them. I know what my choice would be. He can also have sealant on back teeth to protect them unless they have already been breached by decay. I had to have that done with my son.

We're on it. He was absolutely miserable at the dentist and is again today. I gently reminded him a few times if he would brush and floss well this could be avoided in the future. We were 6 months late for cleanings because of the move and hectic summer, but we're back on track now. More important than the brush right now is flossing- each of the cavities were between teeth. Flossers are going to be our new best friends.

Check his diet and make sure he is getting enough magnesium in his diet. Magnesium is very important for teeth.

Magnesium is crucial for children's good health and development. Read on to find out how much magnesium your child needs, which sources are the best, and how to avoid getting too little or too much.

Why magnesium is important

The body uses this important mineral to keep bones strong and the heart rhythm steady. It also supports the immune system and helps maintain muscle and nerve function.
How much magnesium does my child need?
Ages 1 to 3 years: 80 milligrams (mg) daily
Ages 4 to 8 years: 130 mg daily
Your child doesn't have to get enough magnesium every day. Instead, aim to get the recommended amount as an average over the course of a few days or a week.
The best sources of magnesium

Nuts and legumes are some of the best sources of magnesium. Leafy green vegetables are another good source because the substance that gives vegetables their color contains the mineral. Bread made from whole grain wheat flour is another good option. Some magnesium-rich foods to try:

• 1/2 cup all-bran cereal: 93 mg
• 1 ounce dry roasted cashews: 74 mg
• 1/4 cup oil roasted peanuts: 63 mg
• 1 cup soymilk, plain: 61 mg
• 1/2 cup edamame (shelled and cooked): 50 mg
• 1 tablespoon almond butter: 45 mg
• 1/4 cup cooked spinach: 39 mg
• one packet instant oatmeal: 36 mg
• 1/4 cup black beans: 30 mg
• 1 tablespoon smooth peanut butter: 25 mg
• one slice whole wheat bread: 23 mg
• 1/2 cup plain skim milk yogurt: 21 mg
• 1/4 cup long grain brown rice: 21 mg
• 1/4 cup kidney beans: 18 mg
• 1/4 cup black-eyed peas: 17 mg
• 1/2 medium banana: 16 mg
• 1/2 cup milk (low-fat): 17 mg
• 1/4 cup raisins: 12 mg
• 1/4 cup cubed avocado: 11 mg
• 1 ounce halibut: 8 mg

The amount of magnesium in a food varies somewhat, depending on the size of the item or the brand of the product. Note that nuts and seeds are choking hazards for very young children, and nut butters should be spread thinly for the same reason. Other foods (like beans) should be mashed.
Kids may eat more or less than the amounts shown, given their age and appetite. Estimate the nutrient content accordingly.
Can my child get too much magnesium?

Getting too much magnesium from diet alone is highly unlikely, but it is possible to overload on magnesium in dietary supplements. Taking too much magnesium in supplement form can cause problems like diarrhea and stomach cramps. In very large doses, magnesium can be toxic.
The tolerable upper intake level for magnesium in supplement form is 65 mg per day for children ages 1 to 3, and 110 mg per day for children ages 4 to 8. That's the maximum amount of magnesium added to a normal daily diet considered safe by the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine.
There is no upper intake level of magnesium you get from food.

Kelly has a recipe she really likes and I am going to try making a few jars.

 

[Happy Chooks]

It's a recipe for canning though........

Here it is:

Be sure to add 1/2 tsp salt and 1 TBS lemon juice to the jars before putting the salsa in. I used red onions, a mixture of hot peppers and fresh chopped cilantro in mine.

Mary  I keep going back to watch your video I have become addicted to it - it may overpass the craving for ice cream.  Don't know if I should thank you or not.  Have your put the goat video on you tube.   I'm sure it would go  viral.    The  goat screaming ones on youtube sure did.        Is that Laverne or Shirley,  I forget.  What a sweet, little voice.

You can thank Laverne for getting your ice cream problem under control. Shirley has the short black beard.
