First Cavity

The morning of my biannual dentist appointment was greeted with snow! Yay! Before we headed to drop Gavin off at school so it could be a girls morning, Mommy and I took the time to make a teeny-tiny snowman.

Ice. My snowman is there at the bottom left.

We used a frozen carrot for his nose and chocolate chips for his eyes.

At my appointment, I did an awesome job watching TV and enjoying myself ... right before my dentist told me that she found my first. Whoops. She said that having deep grooves such as mine may add additional risk to having them, but that drinking juice, eating anything sweet, or not brushing and flossing twice a day may also be the cause. Yikes! Mommy had to explain to me that a cavity is a little hole in my tooth and that I needed to brush every day or I'll get more of them.

A couple of weeks later, I went back for my filling and to get the rest of my molars sealed as a precaution. Mommy didn't go in with me (they all agreed it would be best), but the nurse told her I did an AWESOME job the entire time. They painted a white sealant flower on my nail and gave me a beautiful tiara.

The diva is ready. Oh, and I'm pretty sure that's me on my shirt.

Afterwards, since I was such a good girl, Mommy said I could stay at home with her the rest of the day instead of going to school. We made a special trip to the mall and met up with my friend Ava to play.

Hopefully I get my teeth from my Daddy's side instead of Mommy. :) Here's to no more cavities!
