Dentist Hell!

Even if Ella didn't have sensory issues, today would have been horrible.  She had two cavities to fill today.  She still drinks a bottle and we have difficulty brushing her teeth because she is "orally defensive".  She also had really horrible reflux which tore away the enamel on her teeth, hence all the cavities.  They swaddled her...and that is putting it nicely...then they held her head still while she screamed and squirmed.  They didn't didn't give her anything to help her calm down.  No nitrous, no conscious sedation, nothing...i felt so awful that I could not help her.

They also found four or five cavities while they were in there.  Needles to say, I will be filling them when we go to Houston.  Maui is a beautiful place to live, but the medical care sucks.  I really hope this didn't traumatize her for the rest of her life.  She was such a little trooper, though.  She thanked them and then told them by and gave them hugs for giving her a toy.  What a sweet little girl.

Hopefully the next dental adventure will be more pleasant!
