Just say No!

No to Sugus, no to gum, no to anything sticky that could pull Joel's crowns off!! Yesterday we took Joel to Cambie Surgical and he went under general anesthesia to have his teeth fixed. He woke up with a mouth full of stainless steel! He ended up with 5 caps, a few fillings and sealants. All in all, a big job and I'm glad we went the route where it was all done in one shot. Not looking forward to the new bill, seeing as the dentist ended up doing much more than was projected!! Overall it was a good experience and Joel is doing great. He has no pain today and has been back to his usual self! Now to hope and pray we won't have to do this with all the kids....

Oh, I thought you were going to say one of his crowns came off when he chewed on a sugus! Thankfully not!

Better tell Grandpa George not to bring Sugus to Big White.
