First Filling

Visit to the Dentist - 1st Filling
Originally uploaded by kitakitts

How thoroughly do you brush your kids' teeth? Ever so slowly I count from one to ten for three times and scrub the tongue and we're done. We do it at least twice a day.

Last time I brushed Dani's teeth, I saw some black lines on her upper left molar. I told the husband we'd better have the dentist look at it. It would've been nice to see my tita who takes care of our teeth but her house clinic is just too far.

On we went to SM Dasma, the first clinic we inquired has a by appointment only policy. Moved on to another and the doctor is in. She's quite accommodating actually and was friendly to Dani. She suggested we have dani's 5 molars covered with sealant to prevent them from suffering the same fate with her left upper molar, which now needs to be treated. She patiently explains to dani the devices and process so she will be less scared :)

The little girl kept on giving us the thumbs up, how brave. Ironic that she's more concerned about comforting her nervous parents. It took us no longer than 30mins and we're back at the front desk with hubby settling the bill. Total damage: P1250. P300 for the cleaning and P650 for the filling.

Since I don't have a camera with me, just took shots of her teeth at home.
