Today, my precious little girl goes to Children's Hospital to have dental surgery done on her teeth. She has much decay of her teeth, but thankfully she still jsut has baby teeth. With a few abscessed teeth, she will have some pulled today. But she will also have a pulpectomy (root canal for baby teeth) and crown done on many of the other teeth (potential for 11!). Also white crowns on the front teeth to give her a nice smile. I think they are not leaving any tooth undone! Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers!
Last night when brushing her teeth, Kelina pointed at Mommy's teeth and then at her own. She made a yuck kind of noise at the brown parts of her teeth, so I think she understands what we've explained to her, although I don't think she realizes how much it might hurt afterward especially when it comes to eating. I'm assuming it will be a liquid diet for a few days; they'll let me know today.
