Dental Rehab

Poor L. She has bad baby teeth. Part genetics, part bad teeth brushing. She has a mouth full of decay. We had two opinions and chose the second dentist. He is a wonderful dentist. Very caring and wants these kids to have a great smile.
Here's her before teeth. Notice the brown spots in the back...all decay. The top teeth weren't as bad, but there was gaping noticed between the front teeth. We have been deciding what to do for the past 6 months. These are her baby teeth, but they really need to be fixed. So we went ahead and scheduled surgery Jan. 16. Yes, surgery. She had to go to the hospital and receive IV sedation.


But it was all worth it. It took Dr. M 2 1/2 hours to complete the work, but the results were outstanding! He pulled two teeth and put spacers in their place so those 6 year molars will come in correctly. He capped 6 teeth, straightened out the top teeth, made sure her bite looked good. L was a great trooper! She didn't cry once. She woke up from the sedation easily and we were home a little after noon. We hung out together the rest of the day. She loves her new smile and will show anyone she can.
