The Really Frightening Part...

 I took Beth to the dentist on Wednesday. Well, actually it was the Endodontist. She has to have a root canal on a tooth that already had a root canal.

She's been on state health insurance and she wasn't getting the best care so we switched her to Chuck's insurance and now she's getting some real work done.



 This time they just took some x-rays with a fancy 3-D machine (that cost us a lot out of pocket, I had to sign the okay before we went back to the room) so they knew exactly what treatment she would need. Her next appointment is on the 31st and that one's not going to be as fun. But this stuff truly doesn't bother her. She's perfectly fine going to the dentist. What really scares her is when they raise or lower the chair without telling her!


 The older she gets, the more she loves Starbucks!

I don't know what she has from Starbucks, but it sure looks good. Hubby and I really enjoy going there too.

So glad Beth is able to get what she needs to have done on her teeth. That is a big deal. And that drink or whatever it is sure looks good. I don't do Starbucks, so I have no clue what it is, but it sure looks good!!Celebrate!

Dentists... not at the top of my list but perhaps if I had a Starbucks treat promised, like that one pictured, I could endure!! xo

Well done, Beth! I'm probably not nearly so gracious as she is with major dental work!

I just wanted to say hello and Happy World Down Syndrome Day! Ella has a love hate relationship with the dentist. There is a lot of self-talk that goes on to get herself up and in the chair. Gotta love her.

Sounds like it went well and hope that next appointment goes well. Yum to Starbucks!
