I See Some Dentists in Our Future

We had a good visit with Dr. Toney (our wonderful dentist and elder at FBC) yesterday for Kelsie. She has a tooth in the top front that is turned slightly so we went for a little repair before our trip to the orthodontist next Wednesday. After some x-rays and investigation, he saw some things with that tooth (technical names I don't get) leading him to believe she needs to see a root canal specialist to fix it so it doesn't decay. YIKES!! Also, another tooth is impacted and not growing the right way to replace the baby tooth that is loose. So, we have some dental work in our future and we will know more next Wednesday. However, because he had to do some repair to that tooth and look at it closely, she had to have the top part of her mouth numb. It was so funny b/c she was shocked at how big her lip felt and that she couldn't talk or anything. She also hated the feeling that she couldn't swallow so they just gave her the little wand that sucks out the fluid from your mouth. She did really good being still and doing what they said, we were proud of her b/c she hates anything done to her mouth. Also, once we got home, the tooth that was loose she pulled so the tooth fairy brought $5 which made it all worth while in her eyes.

This is a pic that Wayne took with his phone because she was trying to smile...funny.
