We noticed that Rowan has a little spot that is discolored on one of his front teeth . So , when we took him for his 12-month appointment with the pediatrician , I asked about it . And , her response was , " I ' m sure it 's nothing , but it could be a cavity , so I 'll refer you to a pediatric dentist and you should go see her soon . " All I heard was , " He has a cavity " Of course , I freaked out a bit .
Why might I have freaked out when I heard the word cavity ?
Pick the best answer from the following options:
- I thought I could n't be the type of mother whose kids have cavitites .
 - I felt so bad for myself because it meant drills and shots .
 - None of the above choices .
 - I have been meticulous about brushing and caring for his entire mouth
