Dentist time!

On Tuesday, we had Dentist appointments. The kids have been asking for months when they get to go back to the dentist because their last appointment went very smoothly. Lindsay and Zane were so brave. I was so proud of them. They both hopped right up into the chair to have their teeth cleaned and x-rayed! Lindsay chose to watch Lilo and Stitch and Zane watched Ratatouille while they did everything. Lindsay had NO cavities which was a relief. Two years ago she had 8 cavitites (yes, 8!) and so we had to have her put to sleep (that sounds like something you do to an animal) for 2 hours while they filled 2 of the teeth that weren't very deep and they capped the other 6. So she has 6 silver teeth that she is very proud to show off. So having no cavities was a big deal to us. She got her picture taken and it's hanging on the wall in the Tuffy Tooth Club! HOWEVER, Zane had 5 cavitites! What the heck? I am so discouraged because we brush their teeth pretty faithfully since the whole Lindsay ordeal 2 years ago AND they take flouride pills everyday. So I get to take Zane back for a "special date" to get his cavities filled on April 4th. I'm so worried he's going to be traumatized and never want to go to the dentist again. Because they aren't very deep, they are going to do a sand abrasion where they just sand out the tooth instead of drill. So they most likely won't have to numb him. I'm praying he doesn't feel much and that is goes smoothly. Gavin wouldn't do much but let them count his teeth. To distract him, the dental assistant let him hold the little thing that sprays water and air onto your teeth. So he sprayed water all over me and the floor. But it kept him happy. Wish us luck for April 4th!
