Our first trip to the dentist

I really wish I remembered to take pictures for the blog. I always forget and when I get home I am so mad at myself because I don’t have pictures to document what we did. This blog is like my baby book. I look forward to the day Kamryn will be able to read it from start to finish and will be able to see my perspective on this crazy thing we call life! I wish I had something like this to look at, especially now that I am a mother. It would be cool to see my life from the beginning and read my own mothers words on how she see’s it all happening. I take a lot of pride in it and work very hard on it. I hope everyone who reads this enjoys it as much as we do.

Yesterday we took Kamryn to her first ever dentist visit so she could get her teeth checked out. This is the only picture we took. She is in the waiting area. We decided a pediatric dentist was probably the best idea since she is so young. The whole office has an under the sea theme. Kamryn loves “fishies” so she was happy to be there. Everyone that worked there was so nice and made Kamryn and us feel very comfortable.

It went great and Kam did a wonderful job. There is no nerve damage and the teeth aren’t loose at all. For now she is stuck with the chipped teeth the way they are but when she is 3 we will fix them. Then they will do fillings which from what I understand will make her teeth look more normal. They don’t like to do it before then because it is very hard to get a young toddler to cooperate. I agree, the fall was traumatic enough!! If we did try to fix them now there would be a lot of screaming, a lot of tears and a lot of Mama and Dada holding her down. NO THANK YOU! If the dentist told us it was a necessity, then no question we would do it. But the dentist said for now she will be fine.

Phew! I feel a lot better!! It gives both of us piece of mind knowing that the only damage is what we see and that will be fixed. And just like everyone has reminded us….they are only baby teeth.

Now, we just have to get used to her “new look”.
