Dental Health

The beginning of this year, I managed to floss pieces of one of my teeth out. It didn't hurt, but I was alarmed. So I made an appointment and thought it'd be good to get Eric in for the first time. He went in the day after I did and did great! I asked for a cleaning and decided to do complete x-rays as well so we'd have good records to reference down the road.

The doctor said his teeth look great! I was so happy! And he did incredibly well while the technician cleaned his teeth. We go to Drs. Roberts & Hall and we love the entire staff!{Though, they all have gleaming white, perfectly straight teeth, which I am a bit jealous of. Teehee!} They won Eric over right away with their Treasure Chest of toys.

Wondering why his toothbrush doesn't make those noises.

I, unfortunately, had to have a temporary filling put in, make another appointment to have my tooth drilled out and have a crown molded and then make another appointment to have the crown put on. That last part happens this coming Wednesday, the 28th. I forgot what it was like to have half your mouth, jaw, tongue, etc. completely numb. Not a big fan.

Isn't it refereshing when kids like the dentist instead of fearing them. Jadelyn seems to think the dentist equals party time. She's even had some fillings and still loves to go.

I'm glad you found one that you like. and so sorry your tooth was falling out! I had a piece do that a couple years ago and I as terrified! I had nightmares for days that all my teeth were falling out. The dentist calmed my fears quite a bit :)
