Yesterday I took my sweet boy to the dentist. For those of you who do not have any young children, they now can put sealant on new adult teeth to prevent them from getting cavities. I'm not sure how fool proof this is, but isn't that amazing? Anyways, while under the gas Alex was also scheduled to have 1 tooth removed. However, two more would have to come out in the next 6 months so I requested that we do it now to save some cash later on. Dr. Kelly said that was fine and went ahead and took 3 teeth away. Alex cried when he received the numbing shot and was a little loopy from the laughing gas when I rescued him from the back. He'll have to have soft foods today. So now he is waiting for two front teeth to come in at Christmas. Dad is on another business trip and missed the Tooth Fairy again. Drats!

I had the sealant put on my teeth when I was a kid. I think it helped, but it doesn't last forever. I can't wait until Abree loses a tooth. It will be so exciting! It seems like our kids are going up too fast!
Oh I miss Dr. Kelly, I haven't found anyone here quite like her. My sister put sealants on Luke's baby teeth when she was in Hygiene school last year, not sure the benefits either.
