Dental Fun!

Due to Megan's fear of medical professionals and her gag reflex we didn't get a good dental check up from her until last July.  She had a huge hole in one of her teeth.  It looks like it just didn't form correctly, you could have stuck a q-tip in it.  Our regular dentist tried to fix it.  He had her all numbed up and everything but any time he tipped her back and stuck his fingers in her mouth she would throw up.  After the forth time he gave up.  So we found a pediatric dentist that could sedated her and made the exam appt.  This dentist was pretty confident that he could fill it with all white filings.  So we made her the sedation appt.  He was almost done when he realized that there just wasn't enough tooth there to fill with the white filling and not have the tooth either crack or get infected so he wrapped her entire tooth in stainless steel!  The good thing is luckily this is a baby tooth.  So she will only be sporting around this baby tooth for the next few years.  (Jordan was SO jealous!)
