floss your teeth!

Today was the 6month check-up for our wee Wardlings teeth. A few of them went into the office with apprehension, while others didn't have a care in the world. I love taking them all in @ the same time. Thank goodness it is only 2x's a year.
I forgot my camera, but thankfully I had my cell. Erin had to have a filling and so Josh went up beside her and held her hand...without being asked...to give her comfort. Josh is such a sweet tender boy. He held her hand until it was all done!
Jacob is showing off his freshly cleaned, pearly whites.

Penny's turn. The nurse loved Penny. (She did want to call her Libby though.) Penny put on such a show! Our nurse, Teresa said that our children needed to come into the office @ least once a week, to make her day brighter. It's nice to know that our Wardlings made her day! Penny did fine with the cleaning, but WAS NOT THRILLED with the sealant process. She screamed and screamed. Wiggled and wiggled, until our hygenist asked if it would be ok to use the papoose board. Penny didn't like that either. However, we got all of the sealants in and we won't have to come back for 6 months. whew-

Our sad and mad Libby. She needed to have a baby molar extracted. She wasn't thrilled. The tooth was so wiggily, that it would've come out on it's own, but it was causing damage to the new teeth coming in, causing misalignment. The best bet was to remove it today. Yank.

Josh did excellent in the dentist's chair today. He, along with his sisters have small mouths and big teeth. We have to go back again soon, for a set of spacers for his mouth.

The funny thing is that today is Halloween, the biggest candy day of the year and the Wardlings started it this year, in the dentist's chair. Besides a few tiny issues, they got a clean bill of health. Hoorah for floss picks!
