Day 89 - Monday March 13, 2012

Today we went to the dentist.  They were particularly nice to us and got us right in to see the doctor.  The gal that was very sweet.  This time they x-rayed all of her teeth to make sure that there wasn't anything else going on.  The dentist was very nice as well.  He looked things over and proposed doing the three root canals/crowns and then just doing a build-up on the fourth tooth.  This would be less work so probably better.  The bad thing is that the anesthesiologist will not be in until April 10th, so that's the soonest they can do the work.  Actually, they are booked up for that day but will call and see if he could do her early before anyone else.  They will let us know what can be done.  The dentist did find that one of the nerves was exposed again so he put bonding material on it.  This is slightly different than the composite that has already been put on it so hopefully it will work as well or better.  Bridgett was very cooperative at the dentist, which was good considering that having her mouth open to air hurts so much right now.  Just the past few days we can see that the pain is back.  I did give her Tylenol today about an hour before we went.  By evening she said that the teeth were feeling better.  Bridgett slept a lot today.  In the evening she laid on the couch and visited with all of us.  She three girls did some singing and giggling and talking.  We got to bed early as we are supposed to see Kasey at the Low Vision Clinic tomorrow assuming that Bridgett is up to the trip.
