We went in for a dentist visit last week. Good thing our dentist is our cute friend Tanya! (We're actually SUPER lucky and have two good friends that are dentists ;))She owns a practice down in Mapleton. If you need a good dentist, go see Tany Westmoreland at Maple Mountain Dentistry!! Anyway, my kids have had nothing but good experiences with the dentist so they actually get excited when we go. It probably helps they get balloons & fun prizes. I took a picture of each of them when they were getting the silly gas so they could see how they looked like an elephant. When it was my turn to sit in the chair(no silly gas here), Luke took a picture of me but I didn't know until we got home and he showed me the photo. Savana and Scottie were really tough and did great. Luke did really well for the majority of the time and tried to be really brave, but when it came down to the last five minutes, he quietly shed a few tears. I felt so bad when I saw that he was sad. I think his patience wore thin and he was just ready to be done. All in all.... It turned out all good. Guess we'll see how much they all like he dentist when we go back in six months.
We did find out through an x-ray that Scottie is probably going to get to know the orthodontist pretty well. He has a few adult teeth that won't come through without a little help, there's just not enough room. We'll know better on the 12th what the game plan is, but for now Dr. Westmoreland is thinking he'll need an arch expander and it's better that we get started now otherwise we could be looking at surgery in the future. She also noted that his wisdom teeth are coming in which is a little sooner than normal, but not a problem.
When we first went in for a cleaning & an exam, Savana's two front teeth were loose. By the time we went back in the next week for her to get a filling, she had lost one of her front teeth and was prouder than a peacock to show it off at the dentists. Tanya said she probably wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for Savana's huge cheesy smile and a silent but obvious pleading for acknowledgement of a missing tooth. These pictures are so funny!! Savana and Scottie have obviously taken part of the silly gas LOL. They aren't exactly staring off into space. They put on cartoons for the kids while they're working on their teeth, kind of a nice distraction!
