ailbheShe is going back at least twice more for more fillings. And then I will take her back to her usual dentist to get a second opinion on the quality of the work, because, um, that's what I do, me.
They aren't nice white fillings like I have on my front tooth, but nasty grey ones.
I didn't cry in the dental clinic. Not even when the dentist said it must be something she was eating.
I can find records of four dental appointments other than today's in the past 12 months. But I know there's one more I haven't written down; I shall phone that dentist tomorrow and find out when it was. I know I've been paying attention to this. I know I haven't fed her sugared lemonade or cola or even blimmin RAISINS... But I need more evidence that it's not my fault, because I don't believe it now.

Date: 2010-04-23 01:58 pm (UTC)I grew up in the 1950s and have had, over the years, more fillings than you could shake a stick at - but none at all in the past 20 years or so! So you see, just because she needs them now (and I bet she was an incredibly brave girl who deserves a huge reward) doesn't at all mean she'll need any when her second teeth come in.
