Viola had her first dentist appointment today. I was terrified that she was going to have numerous cavities and the authorities would be called. Not a single cavity was reported, however. That's right, the girl who does not drink milk, who only brushes with the Dora The Explorer Whirlygig Toothbrush, who breastfed all night long until she was two does not have one single cavity. Weird. Our neighbor down the street, her son had something like 19 cavities at his first dental appointment. He had to go under anesthesia to have them all filled. Forget that. Aren't they baby teeth? Don't they fall out anyway? I don't get it. Well, okay, I know it can mess up the permanent teeth coming in above, but still.
My dental appointment was not so lovely. I had to have a crown put on a tooth I cracked on a nut. I can't believe some people actually intentionally go in and have all their teeth crowned. The price people pay to look good.
It is raining and blustering like mad out there. My wind chime on the front porch sounds like it has gone insane. Glad we've gota horse show to put on this weekend, should be tons of fun in the muck and the rain.
HAHA! Well, for what it's worth, I think it's great news that your daughter doesn't have any cavities. She must have some very good oral health habits.LOL!

Well, maybe they just wanted to be sure they won't have their teeth cracked, that's why they wanted to have their teeth crowned.
It's good to hear that Viola has no cavities. That's something a mom can be proud of.

Having 19 cavities is pretty awful. Good thing your daughter has zero cavities. Is Dora her favorite cartoon character? Having a Dora the Explorer Toothbrush probably inspired her to clean her teeth very well.

Hey, I've got nothing against people who have their teeth crowned all the way around- I just think it would HURT like HELL! I know how uncomfortable my one cap was, I don't think I could sit through like twenty-something of them.
