I mentioned before we had been to a great dentist. I am totally impressed by Provo Dental Care, where my future-sister-in-law Hayli works. Today was the day to have the work done. I have long been dreading this because:
1. Who likes to go to the dentist in the first place? Especially to subject my little princess to a pulpotomy, the child-equivalent of a root canal.
2. The diabetes complicates everything.
3. It is so stinkin' expensive and even though we have dental insurance, it is not worth much.
We decided to have her sedated. She got a shot in the arm and within a minute she was out. She slept through the whole thing...painless. It was a bit freaky when she was trying to wake up and her eyeballs were pointed in opposite directions, but the anesthetist reassured me it was normal & she was fine.
As soon as she came to, we went for a visit to Cam & Shane's (Kyle's bros) insurance agency, GMI Insurance, which is located downstairs from the dentist office. (BTW-They do a fantastic job, you should call them for a quote 226-8770. Guys, you can pay me later.) She left with a pack of cookies and a smile on her face. She thought it was so funny that her tongue was tickling. As we walked out the door I asked her, "Was that fun today?" To my surprise she said, "Yes!". She is also pretty pleased with her new, silver tooth! So, yes, I do believe it was well worth the $250 to have her sedated & I will do it again in a heartbeat. Maybe she won't grow up hating the dentist like me. Thanks, Hayli, for taking extra good care of us today!

I'm so glad you guys had such a positive experience. It took us years to find a dentist Dexter was comfortable with. Now he doesn't mind going (hey, they have TVs in the ceiling, so it's all worth it). I just got my crown last Monday - the only painful thing for me is that bill: $640.00!! And that's only #1. I'm going to have to pay that one off, before we can start working on #2. In ABBA's words (lyrics): "Money, money, money, must be funny in the rich man's world"...
I thought we had a pretty good experience last time but-I think for sure we might head to your new dentist. I am so glad that everything went well and can't wait to see that new tooth!
I'm still debating the switch, but you are convincing me!!
I know this doesn't relate to your post, but sorry it took so long for me to get back to you wiht my email. My work email is kathleen.andrews@fmr.com or my personal one is xkillerkatx@gmail.com. I would love to talk to you more about the wedding! August 22. Thanks so much!
