Nick - Dental Craziness






Nick has a bad cross-bite plus the bonus of having extra unneeded teeth. Before Christmas we took him to the dentist, which he ran away, got a strep infection, missed a week of school and was just plain miserable. We finally got the quad put in 10 days ago. He had his quad put in on January 7th. He cried from the moment I picked him up at school all the way to Logan. I ended up having to call Rick to come help. He finally went in and the younger Dr. Poole was so good with him. He talked him through the whole process and fitted the quad in. He asked Nick how it felt and if he wanted him to cement it in. To our surprise, he said it didn't hurt, so away Dr. Poole went cementing in the quad. Nick has gotten used to it and is very good about brushing his teeth and keeping it clean. He never wants to go to the dentist again, but the orthodonist is fine.
