Lots and Lots of Dental Work

All I can say is this summer has been filled with many visits to the dentist. Tyler and Nicole have had a ton of work done. We have kept the dentist in business this year. Tyler had to have 3 teeth extracted. He had an extra tooth coming in between his two front teeth. It was shaped like a tear drop. It is crazy looking. Then he had to have a cap put on plus 8 cavities filled. Because of all the work he had to have they had to put him under. Which that costs 75.00 every 15 minutes he is under, with the first 15 minutes costing 150.00. Lets just say that bill alone was $750.00 and we had to pay up front. Hopefully the insurance will come through.
Then Nicole had to go 4 different times to get all of her work done. She is so brave. She didn't want the gas. She just sat their calm and watched a movie. She had a tooth pulled and a spacer put in. 2 root canals, 2 caps, and 11 cavities.
So when it was time for Sara and Ben to be seen they were expecting tons of problems, since the other two had so much. Ben had no cavities, and Sara had one small one. It is crazy, because we really do have the kids brush their teeth, and yet look at all that had to be done. All I can say is what if we didn't have them brush their teeth?
