enoch the brave

A few weeks ago I took Levi in to the dentist. He had had a dark spot on his tooth for a looooong time. Over a year ago it was fine, but it looked like it had finally turned into a cavity. We went in, and as soon as he was sitting in the dental chair he was crying. Great! Suffice it to say that he didn't let the dentist do anything. We are now waiting to see the specialist.

Next, Enoch had to see the dentist a week ago. He has not 1, not 2, but 3 cavities!!! (Yes, this is a hygienist who is writing this).
The dentist didn't even want to try just cause he remembered how poorly Levi did. So, good thing I have connections.... a friend on mat leave who is a dental therapist and has lots of practice with kids gave it a try. On Saturday Enoch did awesome and is now cavity free!!!

We are still waiting to get Levi's fixed. That poor kid is really gonna have to be drugged up.

Good luck with getting Levi cavity free. We have to take Daniel in to the dentist. I am not looking forward to it.

Poor kid. Today Travis almost had a root canal. Apparently as they drilled the cavity, puss came pouring out. That's great eh? The last dentist just said it would be fine. Grrr. He was super brave though. Think of poor Marvel too.
Kids have to deal with hard things sometimes. Good luck with Levi
PS - thanks for saying your kids also don't have perfect teeth. It makes me feel MUCH better!
