Cavity for Chloe

The big kids had a dentist appointment January 21st and I thought it would be good to start introducing the twins to the dentist.  I have gone to Dr. Moyes since I was little!  I just love the way he is with the kids.  So nice and patient and calm.  He had the twins lay in the chair and just peeked in their mouths, nothing to exciting.  The first thing out of his mouth was that I have braces in the future with the twins.  I had thought that...their mouths are tiny and their baby teeth are already packed in there.

Chloe, he noticed, had a small cavity on the top of one of her molars.  I am betting it was from when they had all the mouth sores in December and I gave up brushing for a while.  So we made an appointment to go back and get her cavity filled.  Dr. Moyes had warned me that he would give her some gas to help her relax but he would not pin her down or fight her, if that happened we would have to go to a dentist that could sedate her.

The big kids were at school and I got a babysitter for Caylee and Cate and we made our way to the dentist on February 5th.  Chloe did great.  She kind of shut down and just laid there, I think she must have gone to her happy place.  I could tell she was nervous and when the dentist scooted her up in the chair her little eyes welled up with tears, but that was it.  No crying, no tantrums, no nothing!

We walked out of the dentist room and it was like someone clicked a switch!  She was talking up a storm and running around.  She was so excited to go use her 3 coins and pick some prizes for being such a good patient.  Funny girl.  Hopefully we won't have many more cavities!
