More Than Just a Cleaning

At our last dentist appointment we found out that Grace had a bad cavity in one of her baby teeth.  That baby tooth was touching a permanent tooth and the cavity was starting to spread.  So we made another appointment for today to get the baby tooth extracted, the permanent tooth filled and sealants done.  She was a trooper.  We prayed for her last night at dinner and on the way to the dentist this morning.  She was a little nervous, but such a big girl.

She was watching Tangled.  Hope let her wear one of her shirts this morning and take her Hello Kitty to hold.

A mouth full of gaze.  The effects of the nitrous oxide wearing off. 

Some fun options for drinking her chicken broth since one whole side of her mouth was still numb.
She also ate her cut-up strawberries with a toothpick and had a cup of honey vanilla camomile tea. 

Her tooth box.

We will have to do some science with her tooth. 
She was surprised by the size of it.

She got this little coin purse and key fob for being such a good patient.
