Teeth Extraction

My middle child, is one picky eater, so every time we eat I would chop her food into bite size so she can easily eat her food.  Easy peasy, right?  But here's the problem, her permanent teeth started to grow behind her milk teeth..  Our dentist suggested we give apples for her to bite so the teeth can come out on its own, but the picky eater in her refused to eat or bite into those apples.. haay..

There's no choice but to extract her teeth, so we went to our dentist..  This is actually the first time for one of our kids.  So, you can imagine our feeling..  We were scared and nervous..  But our dentist made sure she was going to be fine, he was really calm explaining what's gonna happen, then we saw this..  

Oh my gosh!!  What did we get her into?!  

This girl was soo brave!!  We're so proud of her, she didn't even shed a tear!  She made it easy for everyone, considering she's our "drama queen", but that time, she took it all in like a grown up! :D

3 teeth out!!!

Whew!  I'm so glad we have a dentist friend..  We didn't have a traumatic experience as we thought we would..  The kids didn't get scared of him and all..  Thanks to Doc Mariusse for a painless teeth extraction! :D

Space Maintainers with Artificial Teeth

My eldest has been very excited for his graduation..  They've been practicing their song and dance presentation for weeks and this got him all giddy!

The week before his graduation, 3 of his teeth fell off..  :(

We felt really sad about it, so we decided to ask my dentist friend, Dr. Em Esquillo if he could do something about it.  He then recommended a space maintainer with artificial teeth.

Kid's First Dental Visit

I never really thought about bringing my kids to the dentist, just to get their teeth checked. I've always thought that they should have a damaged tooth or an aching one at least before going to the dentist. Since, I thought their teeth are clean enough, I didn't plan on going to one. Yea, I know, so wrong!! hahaha!
