Belinda had two dental appointments, July 7 and July 15, to get the seven fillings taken care of, and she did great. One of the cavities concerned the dentist because it was deeper than he thought, and he said it might end up needing a root canal, yikes. I told Belinda she should really stick with water and ditch the drinks that are changing the pH in her mouth!

So this week she started feeling pain in that tooth while she was at work, and told me that it was pretty bad. So we got a quick appointment for her, and she went in on the 24th. Turns out the filling just needed to be shaped down a bit, and as soon as it was done, she said it was already feeling better. So that was great news.

So now Belinda has a cleaning set for August 7, one day after her birthday, sniff. She’ll be an adult then. She said she wants me to still take care of her medical stuff while she transitions into that, so I suppose she’ll have to sign documents allowing that. I’m glad it will be done before college starts, and then we can try to get the next one scheduled on a school break.
