Pediatric Dentist

Oh how I love Pediatric dentists! I have never been to one before and I was glad when Damon's O.T. referred him to this guy. I had been trying to find one that accepted Medicaid and had no luck. When I called this one, not sure of the name, they did! So we took Damon in today, and I got results that I wanted!!! I have taken Damon to about 2 or 3 other "regualar" dentist, and they tell me he looks fine, and he doesn't need to go back. I knew he needed more. they didnt even clean his teeth. Here, they cleaned him, and flourided him. ya whoo! And I finally heard what I wanted to hear, that he does need work on 2 of his teeth in the front. Damon is going to be prone to having dental issues, I knew that, but this doctor took his time, didnt have anyone else to work on there, and sat down, and explained everything I needed to know about kids with Cerebral Palsy, and teeth. So next month, we go up the hospital, put him out, and a surgery type procedure, and poor guys has to have a root canal!! yeah all the times I told the other dentists, atleast a year ago, it has come to this! But we get it fixed and he got some cool stuff out of it also.

oh man, poor guy! But he will feel so much better afterwards if he feels anything like I did before having my root canal. It sounds like you have figured out the whole Doctor thing and could probably tell them a thing or two:) Glad you found one you liked, I should probably get Kyla to a dentist but....I just haven't.
