Matthew just got done with almost $2,000 worth of dental work this morning. They had to put him completely under. He got 4 root canals, 2 back teeth pulled, a couple of cavities filled and several crowns, as well as spacers where his back teeth were. It's so hard seeing your child come out of anesthesia! They shake and tremble and can't hold their heads up for a few minutes. He did great and now it's all done! Sydney also had to go through the same thing when she was 4, but she had to have her 4 front teeth pulled.
Out of the 4 kids, Sydney and Matthew have horrible teeth, Lauren and Kaycee so far have only had tiny cavities that have been able to be filled, sometimes without even local anesthesia.
