The Dentist

*This post is about 3 months old.  I just never posted it.*

We haven't done very well at going to the dentist regularly, so as spring break approached at the end of March I decided to tackle that giant.  I called an office in walking distance from our house and I was able to get Carson and Callie appointments during the break.  We all trapsed into the office 3 days out of the 5 days of no school.   They did really well.  I always worry about Carson who is usually nervous around doctors and dentists. The following week was George's turn.  The week after that was Ginger's and Lucy's turn. 

Lucy and Ginger both had cavaties.  Lucy's was small.  They took care of it without being numbed.  She was nerveous but very brave.  They told her that if she felt any discomfort to raise her hand and they would stop and numb it.  She sat there the whole time and didn't move.  Later she told me that she felt it a little but she was strong.  Love that girl.

Ginger's was a little different.  One of her back teeth were really bad.  It hadn't developed properly.  The dentist said sometimes that happens when they have a fever as a baby.  I don't recall a specific fever she had had.  Anyway,  she wasn't as cooperative.  That's okay, we all have different levels of pain tollerance.  She is right there with Carson.  She did a great job though.  We went to McDonald's after it was all over.
