Dentist Day

January 27, 2011

Lydia and Owen were transferred as patient to Dr.P.M from where they were. Mainly because Dr.M is in our dental insurance network, where as the other wasn't. I took Owen to Dr.J.M when he was 18 mos old for a chipped tooth and it was torture!!! So we decided it might be more kid friendly to take the kids to Dr.K.A. where Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Elaine and the kids go to....which we had GREAT experiences with them. Owen had gone 4 time and Lydia 2. But it was time to shape up and start taking advantage of the insurance that the farm pays for! So we're saving about $200 a year by going to someone in network, that $200 is just on cleaning's only. (I say that because you'll have to read on......)

So we got there 10 minutes early, mommy was cold, the kids were playing and thought everything was going to run smoothly. I took Lydia back to get hers cleaned and thought we'd have Owen come right back when she was done....nope Lydia and I were transferred to the dentist's office, Troy and Owen stayed behind to get cleaned. (WHAT A CROCK! compared to all 4 of us being in a room at Dr.K.A.). Anyhow......1 hr 16 minutes later we all left! (whew)

To make a long story short-I didn't get to see Owen get his cleaned, but heard him laugh and was reported he did well. He LOVED the bubble gum flavor fluoride treatment and was stoked he got a WOODY toothbrush!!! Lydia was great getting hers cleaned, chose grape flavored fluoride treatment, got princess flossers and a prince toothbrush! After the cleaning Owen let Dr.P.M. count his teeth.....then the news came........Owen has a cavity and it HAS to be filled. It's a molar that he'll have til he is 12 or 13!!!! (we didn't tell him) Then Lydia wouldn't open her mouth for him to see. oh well!!!

So we were glad to get out of there. I made Owen's appointment for in a few weeks, mommy needs time to prepare herself for this visit and the next cleaning appointments. Better take the whole afternoon off for that one!!!
