The dentist/Crentist
The 'crentist' is a reference to Dwight Schrute from The Office, love that show.
The kids had their first appointment last week. They were both nervous. I had been so displeased with my personal service that I was a little on edge! Lorraine did a great job with them though. She was very striaght forward and explained things to them. They got to feel the 'tooth tickler' on their fingernails, and have 'mr. thirsty' suck the water from their hands. She was great and put them at ease.
Q has lost a bunch of teeth (6 I think) and she has gotten her permanent molars on the bottom. Her tops are coming through now. Early. She has one little cavity on her baby molar. We'll go in to get that worked on as well as have them seal her bottom molars. She has 'groovy' teeth so we need to be particular about taking good care of her teeth.
G hasn't lost any teeth. His teeth look great. They are a little discolored from his breathing treatments done in the past. We haven't needed to use his medication for a long time and have been much better about brushing after using it. He looks good. He had a little tarter build up and was all tense when she was scraping it off, but he was brave and did well. No cavities.
I hadn't ever flossed my kids teeth and now do. It's a little challenging especially with G who has a tendency to bite down on my fingers!!! But we are all much more dedicated to having good oral health. It really doesn't take much effort and the benefits are sooo worth it!
