Cavities and Fillings and Root Canals...oh my!

So we had our lovely dentist appointments last week. Delia did really well. She let them clean her teeth and even use that scary sucker thingy!! At her age I would have been terrified...I mean I only now as an adult am okay with it. Go figure! When the dentist was looking at Delia's teeth he said, "Oh, she's a heavy thumb sucker, huh?" Uh Oh!!! So now we have to figure out how to break this little habit, any ideas? She mostly sucks it at night time and occasionally during the day if she is sick, tired or hurt. We've told her not to, but it is a hard "rule" to inforce when it is a natural thing for her....you know?

I did super, too! I didn't even gag once nor did I get even the teensiest bit nervous! That is until the doc mentioned the root canal I'd have to get. Which reminds me...about 4 months ago I broke a molar eating a sandwich of all things. I didn't go to the dentist then because:

a. I don't like going and

b. It didn't/doesn't hurt

YIKES! I also have a few cavities that will need to be filled. I am NOT a happy camper. Tomorrow Jake and I have another appointment to get the other half of our mouth cleaned. Not exactly sure why they split them up but they do. And apparently I could get the root canal and fillings done tomorrow.....I'm not sure if I'm ready though.

I'll let you know how it goes...until then here is a recent picture of Jake and his girls....aren't they cute!
