Teeth

If you look really closely, you can see just how bad Marshy's teeth were. You may have to click on the photo and enlarge it to see.

He had some bottle rot across the top of his front 4 top teeth.

Today we went to the dentist in WVC bright and early (7:50 AM appointment) to have his teeth capped. His pediodontist uses IV sedation. It is the best ever! Marsh didn't fight, except for the first second after the nurse stabbed him with a shot. An hour later, he had 4 brand new caps (that look FABULOUS!) and a filling. The dentist even used the porcelain colored filling, so he looks TOTALLY normal. :)

His caps look really good, too. Marsh was a little out of sorts all day. He had two boo-boo's, (one from the shot, one from the IV), one on each arm, which kept hurting him all day. He was really grumpy, too, so I wasn't able to get any good photos of his new teeth. Hopefully he'll be feeling better tomorrow. I will post pictures of his new teeth when I get them.

I was thinking I wanted to see them. Ihave done sedation with one of my kids and it is great to get it all done.
