Qualifies as almost a Miracle

Luci had some suspicious spots on her teeth...at least the dentist thought so last July when Luci wouldn't cooperate and just screamed at the dentist...they could only look in when she was yelling. So today we had a consult visit at a dentist that specializes in children. Luci did fantastically! Once I got her out of the van, anyway. It was hilarious trying to drag her out of the van. She was horizontal, holding onto the seat belt in the back seat, and I was pulling on legs, trying to not pull off her pants. Looked like a cartoon.

After signing her in, Luci calmed down. That was surprising, to say the least. And when she was called back, she didn't even hold my hand! She followed the woman into the lair...

.

and climbed up on the x-ray chair (helps to call it a princess throne) and had her first ever teeth x-rays. The area for tooth inspection didn't look anything like a dentist's office. It is charming! When have you ever heard a dentist's office described as charming?! I wish I could go to this dentist. Luci climbed right up on the table, and watched cartoons from a tv hanging from the ceiling. I would want to watch HGTV.

She was very brave! I am so proud of Luci, and so pleased with Dr. Lentz. Luci acted so calm but you could see the tension if you knew where to look. Both hands had fingers crossed like this:

We have to go back. That quick look the first dentist had was correct. Luci has small cavities in the last tooth on the top and bottom, on both sides. 4 teeth, 4 cavities. So we go back in January in two visits, and now I am not dreading the appointments ahead of time.
