A visit to the dentist

I have to say, I really, REALLY, hate taking my kids to the dentist every 6 months. I always leave feeling like a failure.  This visit was no exception.  Thankfully, Jeffrey only needed one filling.  Brooklynn had her first cavities, and so did Malia.

Malia was brave when we took her back to have the work done, but her gag reflex is so strong that the dentist needed to put her under general anesthesia. I was with her in the recovery room and it seemed to take forever for her to finally wake up.   Of course, when she woke up she was gagging because of her dry mouth and the sandy grit left in it.

I'm glad it's over with! Thankfully, the dentist created more space between her molars so I can get in there and floss better!! Hopefully she'll be cavity free for a long time.  Keeping my fingers crossed!
