Cagalli's Corner

Kalli had her first dentist appointment last May 23, 2009. I was worried that she'll lose most of her teeth by the time she turns 3. I've been brushing her teeth regularly but I guess her temporary teeth is weak because her 4 front teeth already have cavity :( I wanted to bring her to a pedia-dentist that my friend recommended but I didn't want to wait, so I just brought her to "Little Ones" in the Mall of Asia. I was afraid she would cry and I tried to explain that the dentist will clean her teeth and ask her to open her mouth prior to us going there. I even showed her some pictures. I was really happy and proud when she willingly sat on the dental chair and did everything the dentist asked her! She was so behaved and quite the big girl! She was even willing to go inside the room alone with the dentist :) The dentist checked all her teeth and gave her a fluoride cleaning. She recommended filling up 4 of her teeth (one per visit) and we'll probably do that. I know it's only temporary teeth but I don't want her to have a gap very early. It might skew the growth of her permanent teeth.

Anyway, below is a picture of her in the dental chair. See how happy and unafraid she was? :) I wanted to take more pictures but the dentist didn't allow picture taking while she was working.



Anyway, more posts and pics coming soon... :)
