All of the kids had dental appointments this last week. The dentist said Tiberias teeth are in really good condition. When it was Athena's turn the dentist said that her teeth were in pretty good condition. She had two tiny cavities that are not a problem and might go away on their own. Athena needs to start flossing to prevent more mini cavities inbetween her teeth.
At Luke's appointment the dentist said that Luke's teeth are in really good condition except...his second moler on his right side is coming in underneath his first moler. Meaning, he will probably need surgery down the line to remove one moler. Then he might need braces to correct the other moler.
Athena's visit was pretty funny to watch.
First she needed xrays of her teeth. The big piece that is placed inside your mouth...she didn't like it. Athena pulled it out and said "That's not comfortable." She seemed to expect that she wouldn't have to have xrays done simply because she wasn't comfortable. I had to say "Athena, it isn't comfortable but you have to deal with it. Make it happen." She then did what she needed to.
Next when she was laying down in the dentist chair and it was time to wash out her mouth and use the suction straw to remove the water etc, she raised her hand and stopped the straw from entering her mouth. "I don't want that!" she stated. Pretty soon she found out that she was going to have to allow the vacuum inside her mouth against her wishes as well.
The dental nurse thought Athena was spunky and ...she really is.
