Yeah for the dentist

Our sweet little Thing 1 had three cavities in those pearly whites of hers. This was her first trip to the dentist, ever. I knew she had two because they were in her two front teeth. One day in Boise she was walking around with a pen in her mouth and as I am telling her to stop she tripped and chipped her two front teeth. Right in the middle of them. I should have taken her to the dentist earlier but I never did, no excuse just didn't. I did however keep an eye on her teeth. I made sure to always brush and even floss them, still the spot was getting worse and when I'd floss, the floss would get caught on the chip. So I put a call into the dentist and we went in. Only one other cavity besides the ones on her two front teeth.
All in all the trip was pretty traumatic for her. She wouldn't even let the dentist look in her mouth. I had to sit in the chair and hold her (strap her down is more like it) We had to come back to fix them and we had to sedate her to do the work. Completely sedate her, out cold. It was really unnerving to see her that way too. But one hour later she had beautiful teeth again. HE was able to fill them and not have to put crowns on, yeah.
Needless to say, we brush better now so we don't have such a difficult visit at the dentist's office next time.
