Today Alex had a dentist appointment to take care of a few teeth she’s having trouble with. She had a cavity filled, a baby root canal, and a tooth pulled. The dentist wanted to sedate her, but it’s expensive and insurance doesn’t pay for that, so we thought we’ll talk to Alex and if she was brave, she could get the roller skates she’s been wanting. It would be lots cheaper than sedation and she would get something for the pain. She was a little nervous at first, but Ryan said she did really good. So I took her to get the roller skates and she loves them. The minute we got home she wanted them on and she has been outside practicing all day.
Unfortunately, she has a little more work that needs to be done in August. Her mouth has cost us a pretty penny and she is only 6! I really hope this isn't how it's always going to be. We try and limit her sugar and she’s a pretty good brusher and even flosses every night. I just don't get it. At least the boys have good teeth so far.

Poor Alex, but it does sound like she did just fine. Hopefully her permanent teeth won't have as many problems. I might have to try some bribery myself next week when my girls go to the dentist- I'm glad she got her skates don't show Meg!
