Our dentist adventure

And we're off... today Seth will be seeing the dentist to have a tooth (or what remains of a tooth) extracted and a spacer put in. Basically last Tuesday he broke his tooth while eating a quesadilla. They said it appears the tooth never had a chance because it grew in "funky." We've seen two dentists now and been charged about $125! Today will run us about $300 or more. The joy of medical bills.

Seth is very nervous and I'm not sure how he's going to do. I will update when we get home. Until then, please pray for the little guy!

Bummer about the costs. Dentists always cost more than doctors. Why is that? We'll be praying. Keep us posted...

Oh man. I've got a girl who is in desperate need of braces... I don't even want to think what THAT will cost me!

Poor Seth... but hey, it means ice cream for him, right?

He looked so pathetic when he came home...where's the pics of him? He was so upset about the dentist making his lip bigger. He's so darn cute!

So how did Seth's appointment go? I hope he was okay. What were the results? Has anything been done about the “funky” tooth? I once had a tooth break while eating chips too, but it was apparently a really weak tooth. My dentist was really good though. He took out the broken tooth, stitched me up fine and fashioned a cap for me, so it doesn't look like I've got a tooth missing.
