Our Kids

Well we tried a new dentist today. The last few experiences have been awful for me so I thought I would offer the girls a change. I told them that if they did not like the new dentist we would just go back to the old dentist. I don’t know it was the change, their age or what not but they all did famously.

Lela went first and got xrays and was soooo good. Then Piper and she was apprehensive, coy and then finally gave in to the xrays. No xrays for Landis. Then it was time to see the dentist. Lela got right up in the chair and opened wide and had her teeth checked and even scraped a bit. She has a bit of an underbite. She is also due for a cleaning so we will go back on the 19th for that.

Piper had a harder time with the dentist but eventually gave in and sat on my lap and laid back in the chair and opened wide. Her teeth have excellent spacing on top and bottom and a good bite. Also she does not need a cleaning so we will wait another 6 months for her.

Then it was Landis’ turn. The dentist (who is a female) told Landis it was her turn and Landis said “go” which meant leave not get in the chair:) But she got in my lap and we laid back and surprisingly she opened her mouth got her teeth counted (16) and showed her bite. She was super. Doc said that she had excellent spacing on the top but crowded on the bottom.

All in all I could not be happier with our dental visit, yahoo! One less stressor for me and for them.
