Dentist

Maddie chipped a front tooth when she was 2, and recently that tooth has become gray, so today we went to the dentist. Maddie loves the dentist. She has no cavities!

I think my kids have my teeth, I have never had a cavity. Ben has had a lot of cavities and he has a couple of crowns. We tell our kids that if they do not brush their teeth they will have to get a gold tooth someday. This scares them, so they all bruch their teeth. When Ben's crowns need to be replaced, he will probably get tooth-colored ones. Perhaps by then our kids will have good brushing habits and will not need to be threatened with metal teeth.

Maddie talked to the dentist and the hygenist a lot. She likes to talk. I hope that means that she is self assured.
