Abby's Shiny Smile...

Abby got her teeth fixed today! Yeah! She had 2 root canals done (on back molars that could not be pulled due to crowding issues in her mouth) and silver crowns put on those. She also had 7...yes I said 7!...cavities filled but those fillings are all tooth colored so you don't actually have to wear sunglasses when you look at her smile.

John and I aren't happy about the fact that she HAD to have it done but we were warned that she was going to have trouble since her teeth are so crowded. We have already accepted the fact that we will be paying for braces down the road...the dentist AND the hygienist told us to expect it :(

Abby did really well today considering she was not knocked out but sleepy. She woke up a few times and would fuss and the dentist ended up having to give her more medicine but all in all she did great. She told me tonight that she liked the people and she liked going to the dentist because it is a fun place but she didn't like them fixing her teeth. I thought maybe it was the sound of the drill or the shots to numb her mouth. Nope, it was them pulling her cheeks to the side so they could get into her tiny mouth :) (It may be tiny in size but it is HUGE when it comes to volume!!!!!)

Hopefully the only thing she will have to have done at the dentist for a VERY LONG TIME is have those babies cleaned. We are on the brushing and flossing bandwagon around here and Abby is actually the one who reminds me when the bedtime routine is getting hectic and I forget to mention it! Good Girl!

I wonder...should I get silver polish for her crowns?????? Make them nice and shiny :) (Just kidding people!)
