Dentist...

HATE going to the dentist...probably because at one point in my childhood I remember counting 13 chunks of metal in my baby teeth...and now, I have several white ones and two root canals... ANYWAYS... today was for the kids. Bergen and Tabitha. Tally had an appointment but they said "no" because it hasn't been exactly 6 months. Seriously? I have to take her back! erg.

Bergen cried last night when I told him we were going. I told him the dentist would make his teeth "nice and sparkly." This REALLY upset him. He replied "NO! I don't want my teeth sparkly, I want them WHITE!" Okay...

So, he really surprised me when he did everything he was asked to and didn't even flinch...The dentist came in and said he had.... 4 cavities! really. Oh, but "they are so little that we don't need to numb him." REALLY?!?!!? Okay, so Tally had the same diagnosis at his age, and we fell for it... SVend held her while she screamed and they drilled. Within a month the fillings fell out... and then a year later one because a baby root canal... was it worth it?!!!!!!!!?!?!?!??! I don't know.

I will have to talk to Svend and see what he wants to do. I scheduled it for a Saturday, because if Svend says "we'd better do it," the HE will be the one holding him! I didn't metion any thing to Bergen.

Tabitha's mouth is seriously narrow. Her teeth came in super stacked. I've always "heard" that binkies can cause this, but TAlly had hers til she was 2.5 years and NEVER cause problems... however, Tabitha has MAJOR bit issues...so the binkie has to go... awesome. We cut it back to car and bedtime, but she has snuck it more and more often...time to start again.
