I am so sad that Ethan has 3 cavities. It looks like he might have inherited my and Kyle’s bad teeth. 🙁 That or he doesn’t brush well enough, or maybe even a little of both. So he had a dentist appointment today with a pediatric denstist to get 2 of the 3 cavities filled. The third cavity is on the other side of his mouth and we go back next month to take care of that one. But Ethan did a lot better at the dentist than I expected. He usually doesn’t cooperate when the dentist is just trying to look at or clean his teeth, let alone do work on them. So I was really concerned that Ethan was just going to be uncooperative and cranky towards the dentist (especially since the pediatric denstist isn’t our normal dentist). But Kyle joined us at the appointment and sat in the room with Ethan, and Kyle says he did really well. 🙂
This is kind of morbid, but there was a little girl, 4 years old I think, that went to the dentist and they pulled ALL of her baby teeth out! She was so freaked out, and then at home she wouldn’t eat! She ended up starving to death b/c they wouldn’t let her back into the hospital – they sent her to a child psychologist which didn’t do anything for her either. So stupid. Anyway, glad Ethan’s doing well!
That story is true. The little girl was 8. Kyle just looked it up and found this link:
