Diva knows the rules. Some time ago while at our last duty station, Diva picked up a neighbor kids scooter and road around the street. While riding, she bumped into the curb and went splat! Face first into the curb where the scooter stopped. She had a bloody lip and chipped her tooth. The dentist wasn't too concerned and stated that the orthodontist could even out her smile by filing it down. Well, orthodontia was years away but ok.
Diva had her 6 month check up and cleaning with a new dentist who said he would like to fix it by bonding it. Yay!! He wasn't worried about the tooth. He was worried that she is starting 7th grade, and as he said, "Kids can be mean. Let's give her back her confidence." She really never lacked any confidence or was shy about her tooth but I am glad he fixed it.

I'm glad her smile has been restored. And the dentist is right, Kids can be pretty mean.
Good dentist! He did a good job too.

ReplyDeleteWow- they did a great job- I'm hoping they'll do the same thing for Leila- although they are just her baby teeth... but I'm afraid they would be prone to more trama if they don't do anything about it (sisters knocked her over and she bit her lip and chipped her 2 front teeth- poor little girl- of course none of the dentists here would open nor see her til next month. stupid)
