Sarah and Bethany both use Dr. B. J. Larson as their dentist. He's a pediatric dentist, so we probably pay a little extra, but his office is pretty amazing. The friendly voices, calm atmosphere, special names for dental tools, comfortable exam tables, televisions showing cartoons built into the ceilings, and a chest of trinkets to choose from when its all over make it more like an amusement park than a dental office!

At any rate, Sarah had her latest dentist appointment on Tuesday afternoon. Unfortunately, she's had a few cavities over the last year or so, so we've been pretty fastidious about brushing twice a day, flossing every night, and chewing a fluoride tablet once a day. Thankfully, it all paid off -- no new cavities! The X-rays, cleaning, and exam all went smoothly, and we don't have to make any return trips until her next exam in six months or so. Hooray! We have only to look forward to her losing more baby teeth -- 2 down, 18 to go, and one of them will be falling out any day now...
