Dentist Appointments

Austin and Hailee both had dentist appointments today for cleanings. Austin of course felt sick to his stomach because he wasn't wanting to go. When we got there it wasn't to bad though. Hailee went back first and I went with her of course. Well she screamed really loud. They just counted her teeth, checked her gums and inside her cheeks, and scrapped a little bit of plaque off. The report was great for her though. Everything looks really good and keep up the good work. Yey!
Austin went back on his own, that is the rule for the older kids. When they were done cleaning his teeth the dentist called me back. His cleaning went well and there is no cavities- YEY! However alot of adult teeth were showing up on his xray so they said with in the next 6 months he could loose anywhere from 4-6 teeth. They also said eventually he would probably need braces to help straighten his teeth up. Guess I will start saving for that one huh? Ha ha.
So now they are both good for another 6 months. Then they will go back for cleanings and Austin will also be getting 4 of his back teeth "sealed" to help prevent tooth decay.

So Hailee screamed....that kinda reminds me of John and Kate plus 8. They took the kids to the dentist and they were ALL screaming! Imagine six little kids at the dentist. Atleast no cavities though!
