Crown in and now Resting.....

Wendy once again hit the Dentist Chair for her second Crown for her lower left molar this time. Only one more visit for her upper right molar and she is done. Hopefully for a very long time!!
No photos this time, but she did really well and insisted that I go on to the Family Waiting Room; which is very comfy with leather seating and a flat screen TV. Not to mention a cup of coffee while you wait.
She was a trooper and did well. She chose a stuffed floppy eared puppy to go with her elephant "Elmer". She is working on a name for her puppy, and I'm sure once Holly gets in for the weekend they will put their heads together and name her.
Right now she is sacked out on the couch. I had to give her Tylenol for her pain since they had given her Motrin earlier.
All will be fine once Holly and Daddy come in this evening. Daddy has been in Washington DC this week; so she misses him very much and I know the feelings are mutual from Daddy.

Later.....

Question.....why is she getting crowns for teeth that are going to fall out anyway? Jagged edges? I can't imagine.....I hate getting my teeth worked on....she is a trooper!!!

I asked the same thing, but until they are ready to fall out she really needs something there. Luckily it didn't have to have nerve treatment. The two that are done now were really bad off especially the first one. It came close to the nerve. The last one may get away with just a regular filling.
Who knows when they will chose to fall out... I've heard from the Gaozhou group that some are not losing teeth until they are 7 or 8 years old!
Wendy is excited because the tooth fairy may be a little more generous for these silver teeth. Ha
She was in a great deal of pain last night. Reminded us of some of the first nights home with her. Poor thing. This morning it seems to be doing better.

I hope she's feeling better. What a brave girl you have there, sending you onto the waiting area! J is still not quite comfortable with the dentist...of course I'm in my 30's and not quite comfortable with the dentist....maybe it's genetic ;)
