Dentist

We had a double dentist day! Reese has this spot on her gums that was very red. She had been putting her fingers in her mouth, which is something she had never done before so it worried me. She also would cry when I brushed her teeth and today complained about eating. It was time for her to go again and I kept meaning to make the appt but didn't get a chance. I now had a reason. I decided to let Saige go to her first dentist visit as well.

We went to a pediatric dentist in our area. They were so nice and the place was so clean. Reese got 6 x-rays taken and I wanted so badly to take a picture but I felt stupid so I decided not to. :( Saige was next and I thought for sure she wouldn't sit still long enough to get the little cap thing on-but she did great! She only had two x-rays taken. The hygienist cleaned Reese's teeth and I was told we hadn't been brushing her teeth well enough. That made me feel super great! She didn't have any cavities or anything like that but they just need to be brushed better so she doesn't get any. I was really embarrassed. The dentist looked at her red gums and asked if she injured it some how but we couldn't think of anything??

Saige also did great again! She always surprises me. She sat just like a big girl letting the hygienist and dentist clean, count and look at her teeth.

The girls got new toothbrush, floss, stickers, toy and a ring! Fancy!!

Tonight I had to sit on Reese to brush her teeth though because of that sore spot. I did it softly but she was so scared. I hate that. We have to brush her teeth but she was so upset.
