Dentist

Kendall's second trip to the dentist went great. I had found a spot on one of her back teeth awhile back and - yup - she had a "decay" on there and another tooth. The dentist said her teeth have a lot of grooves in them and brushing is extremely important (well duh, isn't it for all of us?) He told me until she can write in cursive that I need to help with brushing her teeth. They gave her a nice "ice cream" shaped toothbrush. (the kind that takes batteries, I cannot for the life of me think of what they're called) She has been awesome about her brushing them first and then I do it afterwards. So Thursday we had the cavities filled and they do a thing now called "air brasion" so they don't have to numb her or anything. She brought her baby with her and they both got to ride in the chair and pick out a prize afterwards. Because of the light they shine right at your face - they give kids sunglasses to wear. I think this is her favorite part. She never moved a muscle, said for them to stop or anything. When they needed her to open wider, she listened. I was impressed. And after watching - I think I'd rather have the old school filling done because the air brasion way pretty much just sand blasts your tooth so her mouth looked like it was full of chalk. But she still didn't care. I think she just didn't want to take the sunglasses off! I'd rather she not ever have to have it done again so we are dilligent about brushing - but I'm still glad if it does have to happen that she could care less about going to the dentist.
