Tooth Fairy

November 23, 2010

Miss Grace has 3 baby teeth pulled today.  She was funny after they had her sniffing the laughing gas for few minutes.  She got a huge grin and the giggles.  Then I stepped out.  It took all of 25 minutes.  She's recovering well.  Dairy Queen for dinner and all is well.
Earlier this morning I was a little worried when I read this article in the New York Times.  Guess what? Her oral surgeon read it too and we had a nice little chat about it.  He totally agreed with the article. That did not relieve my anxiety when he confirmed that he does indeed use the CBCT.  Grace has has 2 or 3 of these 3D scans.  Plus the 3 foot x-rays, one head x-ray, and a couple other panoramic dental x-rays in her little 10-year life.  I am now sick with worry about all that exposure.
Not what I wanted to read on the morning she goes to the dentist.  What do you think 3 baby teeth pulled by a dentist will run the tooth fairy?

On a happier note, I made the cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving tonight and it smelled so yummy and holiday-ish.  I also found Christmas music on the radio last night.
Fa la la la!
