Fun at the dentist/orthodontist

It was the day for the semi annual crack of dawn trek to the dentist today. The appointment was originally scheduled for April but because of something happening at school, I had to reschedule. It didn't occur to me to change the time of the appointment, just the day. So we had to get the kids all up at 6Am so we could leave by 6:45. Because their dentist/ortho is downtown. Which is 40 minutes away. Why? Because my mom used to work in the same building as this office and we started going there when the Teenager was 2. And I really love it there. I love it more than the hassle it would be to change with two kids involved in ortho work. So, we make the trek. Anyway, all four children have great teeth, no cavities. But, SB has a baby tooth that's been hanging on for far too long. The ortho gave her one month to get it out herself. If not she's having it pulled so that she can start on her braces! Top braces in August and bottom braces in the fall. At least she'll get them out of the way before high school!
