Plans Change

Well, things don’t always go as planned. We went to the appointment as planned. Lucy did really well up until she had to get the shot of novocaine. It was just too much for her to handle. She started to cry every time the needle touched her gums. So we stopped and decided that she needs to see a pediatric dentist whose office is equipped to possibly sedate her for the procedure. This is actually good news because this means that they could fix any other decay on her front teeth at the same time. I spent the afternoon calling around to dentists to find the right one. First, I tried the other holistic dentist in Fort Worth, who actually has an anesthesiologist that comes into the office for procedures but he is booked up until the middle of January. I then called a pediatric dentist and asked my first question “do you do mercury filings?”. Their answer was yes so no need to go further. If you want to know why you can check out this link. I lucked out on dentist number two though, whose name I got from my sister who just took her daughter there for the first time. When looking up their website they state they are a mercury free dental practice!!!! Yeah!!! No worries about bringing Lucy into the building. Our appointment to meet the doctor and discuss our options for the distraction and filings is next Wednesday December 8th. Until then we continue to do our routines to keep Lucy’s mouth clean and healthy, as healthy as it can be with an abscess. Thank you for you prayers and kind words.
