The Dentist

Is it CRAZY that the best part of my day was going to the dentist.
Oh My Gootness people.   If you know a dentist.  You need to tell them to turn their practice into a dental spa.
Masssage chairs, dim lighting and spa music in the waiting room.  Paraffin wax on my hands.   warm or cool eye masks.  soothing music with a perfectly balanced spa atmosphere.  jaw, temple, neck massage after cleanings.   Plus they give you tongue scrapers with your super nice new toothbrush, mouth wash, dental floss and tooth paste packet.    I think tongue scrapers are just cool.
Within the next few weeks the childrens dental spa will open next door.  (same building).   In the basement they have big ol arcades and a movie theater to keep the kids busy while they wait.   They have full lay out, full body massage chairs for the parents while THEY wait.
I'm telling you.   TALK TO YOUR DENTISTS.  Everyone needs to have dental experiences like these.
(p.s. it's all covered by insurance...you don't have to pay for the bells and whistles)

Syd.   she liked her dental barn experience. ba-a-a-a-a.   but not exactly relaxing.  so to speak.
She had to have her teeth pulled last week.   (yes I know....I'm terrible for just now uploading video of it)
We pulled her top baby canines to make room for the extremely large (like her mothers) horse teef she got comin' in !  She had a tooth stuck on one of her canines trying to come in.   The dentist said that if we left it...it would turn and come in side ways.   
Why add 3-6 months on to her orthodontics later.   Just pull those bad boys. ;-)

Syd giving advice to her brothers about having dental work done.
She REALLY liked the silly forget what happened later medicine they gave her. A little too much actually. She asked me for more 3 times while her head would sway side to side.   NOT a feeling I want her to get accustomed to liking.

and of course.....seeing herself with the laughing gas mask on.
(sorry it's all over the place. I was holding the camera above her...so she could see....which meant, I couldn't see what I was filming :)
