How in the hell!


How do these little teeth have 7 (yes i said 7) cavities??? I just don't get it!
So Jaylyn went in for her first ever dentist appointment. Now mind you, I brush her teeth everyday! The dental hygienist first said that I don't brush her teeth well enough. Well hell Ive been brushing teeth for 23 years I guess its just now I learn. (bitch!) So she showed me the "correct" way to do it. So then she proceeds to tell me that her gums are not healthy. By this time I'm getting really agitated.
Finally the dentist come over to check out Jaylyns teeth. He starts counting and saying some weird words then looks at me and says "she drinks a lot of juice huh" Of course i say "um yeah she drinks juice but not all the time". He says well she has 7 cavities and will need to have oral surgery done since we don't do multiple fillings at once. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE SHITTING ME!
So my three year old would need to be put to sleep at a hospital that's 1.5hrs away to get fillings on teeth that look fine to me! Shit!
Needless to say I'm going to take her to get a second opinion. I just cant see having major surgery when
1. I don't think she has as many cavities as they say she does
2. They could easily do fillings in the office
Well today marked another "I'm a horrible mother" day for me in my book. :(
