Since Jacob was born with a cleft lip and had surg at 4 months old we had to take him to the dentist at 1 year old after we took his brother to school.
He did a wonderful Job too.

My cousin's son was born with a cleft pallet too, he had surgery when he was a baby. Besides a few speech issues when he was a little older (nothing major at all) he has had no problems. He is like 10 now.

Chef Boyardee ravioli turned my one year old's teeth orange! After brushing twice a day and everything. Had to have them professionally cleaned. Lol. He did not do well, so glad yours did;) We do not eat canned ravioli anymore.....

A cleft palate is just a hole in the roof of the mouth, you wouldn't have been able to tell unless you looked inside of his mouth. He's had two surgeries to close it, both were before he was a year old.

Quoting jessicaaris:

Really? I didn't know that. You can't tell at all (from pics anyway lol).

just normal dental check ups, he does go twice a year to a cleft clinic, they track the progess of the surgeries (he had 2), and help with speech and such things.
