Well, Abi had her first dentist appointment today! One of her bottom middle teeth is coming in behind the baby tooth and we thought we’d better just check things out! Fortunately, the dentist said this was a fairly common occurrence and as her mouth grows and her eye teeth come out, the teeth will adjust some on their own. She has plenty of room on the top for her big ones to come in and he even said they were starting to get loose up there too!
Overall, she did great! We had talked about all the things a dentist’s office does and the tools that they have. However, I forgot to talk to her about the polishing and that terrified her…they decided to not do it this time around since this was her first visit! She had big crocodile tears and the assistant just couldn’t put her through a traumatic experience! :0)
On a side note, Daddy and Nathan stayed home since Nathan had been up all night throwing up! Jonny went to Grandma’s house and after the appointment, Abi stayed there too! Mommy came home and slept! It has been a LONG night! Fortunately, Nathan is feeling much better and has been able to keep down a banana and some crackers and hasn’t thrown up since 6:45 this morning! I’m feeling pretty queasy and have already chatted with the doctor’s office once…so hopefully we can keep me from throwing up too!
