I took my kids to the dentist today for their 6 month check up. Now I am wondering if I should have just skipped it. Oh, they have good teeth; spacing is good, growth is good, coloring is good. All except for Kari ... unfortunately she has had pneumonia twice; once when she was 2-years old and again a year later. Due to the antibiotics, her back teeth were weakened as they were developing.
She has 3 holes in her teeth that need to be filled to prevent them from becoming cavities (I thought cavities were holes).
Well, there goes the money we got for Christmas. I was hoping to use that to pay down debt or buy a new outfit, but instead I get to point to my 8-year olds teeth and say, thanks for the present.
I knew having kids would be work, that I would be spending more time at the store and in the kitchen, that my house would never be spotless again, and that my bank account would run low. I don't remember agreeing to get fillings for my daughter for MY OWN Christmas present.
