Going to the dentist

Today Emma had a dentist appointment. For those that don't know what, her top 4 teeth are severely decayed. We took her when she had just turned 2, and they gave us some options, but we are trying to wait until she is 3 to do anything. So we go in every 3 months for a fluoride treatment to try and hold off the sedation as long as possible. The dentists we have had before were confusing, but the lady we had today was great...and for a 2  1/2 year old, Emma did great. For her X-ray I told her to go night night and that the X-ray mat was her blanket...she seemed to mostly fall for it. Plus they have great toys and were playing Frozen. So the results from today were that as of right now we will need to put crowns on the 2 top middle teeth and extract the other 2. I wanted to wait until she is 3 because they will have to sedate her. She told me that we can do that, but I need to watch her to make sure they aren't bothering her or become abcessed, and that if we wait they may have to extract all 4 top middle teeth. I think we will at least wait until our next appointment to discuss it, mostly because I want Steven be there for that discussion...partly because he has had issues with sedation before. Anyway, I try to sneak a few pictures of the office while we were waiting.
