"Ghana" Go to the Dentist

Today was the trip to the dentist for all 5 children. Rita and Racheal did very well for their first appointment. They were a little curious about it, but we talked about the tooth doctor counting their teeth. We love our dentist. He is so good with children. They did very well. They had pictures of their teeth taken (X-rays). It was so cute because they would smile while getting the X-rays. Just as if they were getting pictures taken.









All the check-ups went well. Racheal is cavity free. Next week, she is going to get sealants on her back teeth. She has something stuck in between two teeth and it is irritating her gum. It must have hurt pretty bad because she cried and wouldn't let them get it out. So, we are going to try to use "bubbles" to help relax her and then they are going to numb it, so they can get it out. I am going to try to floss there sometime this weekend and see if I can get it out. It will be a one shot deal though because she won't let me do it twice.

Rita has the tooth that needs to be pulled. She has an infection under it and that is what is causing it to be painful. The tooth has a cavity that is down to the nerve and has gotten infected. She only has 3 smaller cavities, so she will be getting the liquid that will put her to sleep so they can do all of that. Hopefully, things will do great with this.

Karleigh is free and clear. Kaiden has 2 cavities between his teeth. We need to work on the flossing with him. Karson has teeth that are very low with enamel. He grinds his teeth at night and now one of them is cracked. So he has some work to get done. OUCH!

They are got floride and did very well with that. I just love our dentist and how they make the visit fun for them. Well, Racheal didn't care so much for it. :0)

On a separate note, I will definitely be spelling Richeal's name ...Racheal. Just with the dentist, they mispronounced her name everything they said it. They would call her "Richell".



Here is a picture of the girls on their first night with me. They love their "beauty" caps. They wear them at night to keep their hair beautiful.




This picture is of the "first" swim experience for the girls. They are fishes now.




The girls on the airplane. They did so well and felt right at home. :0)




This is right after we got off the plane. Big sis, took right over. They now LOVE their sister. She can do NO wrong! :0)



They all wanted to sleep together.
