As I recently wrote about, our kids are horrible at brushing their teeth (just like their mama) and we figured a group trip to the dentist was in order. After requesting recommendations from several of the list-servs here in the city, we settled on one specific office and everyone begrudgingly went along for the ride.
Terran went first and was giving me death glares the entire time he was in the chair. The littles bickered between themselves the majority of the time we were there and every so often, Tony would go peek in between the spaces of the room divider to see just what was going on.
Overall, the couple of hours we spent in this office wasn't SO terribly bad, except that she ::
- instructed us to brush in a way we've NEVER had explained to us before
- admonished Terran and me that the reason we have sensitive teeth is because our previous orthodontia work was not completed correctly
- proceeded to fill a cavity on Terran without using an xray to determine how deep the cavity actually was.
(yikes?)
We have a follow-up appointment for Tony and I soon (he apparently has two cavities that need to be filled), but I'm thinking we may just hold off.
Of course, "holding off" is partially what has gotten us into the trouble our mouths currently are in.
