Yesterday was dentist day for the kiddos. I very smartly booked all three kids on the same day and at the time, then realized I would be a the dentist with three kids at the same time ... going from room to room ... I needent had worried though, it all went very smooth and John surprised us and scooted over from work to help when the kids were split up ! God bless that man :)
Miss. Halley went first and sailed through her exam, cleaning and x-rays ...
Almost finished !
Teeth are cleaned and not a cavity in sight :)
Phew ....
Miss. Maggey got off lucky yesterday. When we got to the dentist they decided it best to wait on doing her exam and cleaning !
Ok, not completely lucky, she's only 8 and has had braces on for the past 10 months !
So they wanted to clean her teeth after the braces are off which happens in only 16 more days :)
This is what she wants as soon as those come off her teeth !
Braces are not fun at any age but especially not when you're only 8 !
Mr. Cooper was slightly terrified when it was his turn . He kept his eyes closed at the beginning , maybe he was praying that this was just a dream ??? He was brave though, and even cooperated during x-rays ...Well after Daddy decided to stay in with him while they were taking them.
He didn't get the wonderful " no cavities " news we were expecting ...
Turns out when three of Cooper's molars were coming in, he either had a fever, was on an antibiotic or it could be genetic ~ not from my side of course ;)
So those three teeth came in without all the enamel on them :(
Which has now grown into cavities .....
I felt like a bad Mom when I heard that ... Maybe I should have brushed his teeth 4 times a day instead of 3 ??????
Then the sweet dentist said " there was nothing you could have done about this "
Phew ....
So my poor little man has to go back 3 more times between now and Christmas to get his little baby teeth filled :(
They can only do one tooth per visit because of the freezing and he's so young.
I'm not going to lie to you, I am already praying when his adult teeth come in , the enamel is all there !
Also I am so very thankful my husband has a job with good dental coverage now :)
If not we would not be eating til after Christmas ....
Plus you now know more about my kids teeth than you probaly ever wanted to !!!
Your Very Welcome :)
