Jasmine's trip to the dentist

So, about a year ago, Jasmine chipped her upper front right tooth on the side of her crib. Some of you may recall the story. At the time, we called the dentist and she said if Jasmine wasn't complaining about it, it was no big deal. So we decided to ignore it. As Lorne was changing Jasmine for bed a few nights ago, he noticed that the chipped tooth was ever so slightly a different color from the rest of her teeth and he was a bit worried about it.

Since Lorne had a dentist appointment on Monday with our wondeful Dr. Scott, he asked her about it and she requested to see Jasmine. Lorne called me at home and I got her ready and met him there. Jasmine wasn't so sure if the dentist was a good thing, I kept telling her it would be fun. I didn't want her to be a coward like her mommy is about going to the dentist!

She loved it. Dr. Scott is great with kids and she put these little sunglasses on Jasmine and then the vaseline on her lips (this was especially something Jasmine loves because she is always asking for "lips" when I put on lip stuff!). Dr. Scott assured us there was nothing to be worried about, that the tooth was fine and not infected or rotting. She also took advantage and checked the rest of her mouth and said everything was looking great! Yay for daily brushing!
