Back From the Dentist

Okay, so it was not as bad as we first thought. Bad enough though. Thank you for the prayers.

Today was cleaning, exam and x-rays.

Here's the plan for now: (since insurance will only cover so much)

3 crowns with buildup

I go back in a couple of weeks to get started. There is more to be done, but this is the most serios for now. We will shell out a little over a $1000 for this (above) AFTER insurance. I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. NOT!

I already have 7 crowns and much much more.......

I hope the boys inherit John's dental genes. Both of my parents had full dentures by the age of 24. They both had bad teeth. No matter how much I brush, floss and whatever they are bad each dental visit.

Do you have good teeth? Do you go to the dentist on a regular basis?

Blessings!!!

I must admit I am not a fan of the dentist, and although I do not visit on a regular basis, my teeth are not so bad and I have never had any major problems.

It looks like B's front tooth is coming in slightly off-course and in the wrong position so I need to get a dentist appointment for him. P said he might need braces, but I hope this is not the case.

Hugs! xo

Oh Marva I feel your pain! I have horrible teeth, I take excellent care of them but I've had more root canals, crowns, bridges and fillings than I care to remember. I worked as a dental assistant for seven years before having my children even though I know exactly what the dentist is doing I hate going, LOL!

Thanks for the sweet comments on my last post.

Have a great day!!

The dentist is so expensive! I know you are dreading the visits, but your beautiful smile is worth it.
