Lots to catch up on

May 18, 2010 Lauren's first trip to the dentist. She did great!! The hygienist that cleaned her teeth explained everything to her first, showed her all the tools and how the chair goes up and down. She was very patient and just very calming to Lauren. She told her how they used the light to be able to see inside her mouth, and then she says, it's pretty bright, do you think you'll need sunglasses? Of course Lauren said yes, and sure enough, she went to the cabinet and pulled out the glasses!! LOL The dentist came in after the cleaning and gave her teeth a once over and said things looked fine. I asked about her front teeth and the thumb sucking and they told us that around 90% of kids need braces these days, so if sucking her thumb is calming to her, not to push too much. I do mention it to her every once in awhile and she stops, but she always does it when she's tired, so I guess we need to start the braces fund now!! Those things are not cheap!!
