Today, Cecelia went to the dentist for the first time...we had been dreading it because not many of her experiences with doctors are very pleasant, especially those who work in her mouth...But she did well...a few tears, a lot of anxiety, but then she just decided to it seemed ok and let the hygienist check and clean her teeth...and the dentist too...the good news is that the little brown spots I saw on two teeth are related to her cleft and are not cavities...and that she also has no other cavities!!!! This is incredible as many of the kids from China have terrible teeth from poor nutrition, both prenatally and while in the orphanages...the bad news is that she is missing 3 baby teeth and the adult teeth are not there either...so, after her gum-line transplant, she will need implants...
She was so proud of herself and especially of the Sleeping Beauty toothbrush she received!
