Will's First Dental Appointment

Well, we had Will's very FIRST dental appointment this week up in Oklahoma City.  We have always had other bigger things going on that we kind of forgot about something simple like that!  We had tried to take him to three dentists here in town and all of them were like, "Umm, he really needs a pediatric specialist, we really don't want to touch him." So anyway, we went off looking for a Pediatric Specialist.  And I am sooooo glad we did!!  We found Dr Molloy in Oklahoma City and absolutely LOVED it!!  It was the greatest little dental experience we could have hoped for!

They have the office decorated like outer space and even have a HUGE rocket in the waiting room.  There are video games, a parent work room, and the staff was just awesome!  In the words of Will, "This place is soooo cool!" They even have TV's in the ceiling for them to watch while they do the work! I would HIGHLY reccommend this to everyone with kids!  It was just super easy!!

After the cleaning and flossing, Dr Molloy came in and checked him out and got a very thorough history from us and then just sat down and talked with us for 30 minutes!!  He was very concerned about Will's jaw and palate and really wanted us to check into a Dr Kevin Smith there in OKC, he said, "Don't go to anyone but him,if I had to have anything done to one of my children, it would be done by him."  That always means a lot when another doctor highly reccomends another one!  Anyway, we will be checking in with that Dr sometime soon.  But on a more positive note. . . .

NO CAVITIES!!

Will showing off his new clean teeth!  He was very proud of them and kept asking, "Mommy are my teeth still super clean and shiny?"  He was just too cute!

Dr Molloy even said, aside from his discoloration, Will had very good teeth, they were strong and solid, but wanted to make sure and keep them that way!  He also has high hopes that Will's permanent teeth will NOT be discolored since his jaundice and TPN use was over when they would have been forming!!  So we will keep our fingers crossed for that!!

We were so afraid it was going to be horrible news that we just about jumped up and down when we heard that!  It is definately still nice to have that wonderful surprise of a good report sometimes!!  We are super proud of you Will!
