March 2011-McKinley's first cavity!

Just like her big sister Kennidy, McKinley had a mouth full of cavities after her first x-rays At the dentist (even though we've been taking her to the dentist since she was 18 mos and we brushed and flossed her every night!). The miracle came when we were able to skip the general anesthesia we had to do with Kennidy and we did McKinley's cavities with only nitrous in the dentist office one week after she turned three!! I practiced with her every night-holding her mouth open for a long time while I told her I was 'scraping off the sugar bugs', and I prayed... A lot:). Doesn't this look so sad, but if course she got a reward when she was done!
