A few notes
I am too tired for details, due to having a very bad night with Daisy last night--see next post, entitled "A rough night"! But I wanted to note for my blog that:
1) Mita came for a visit and it was really lovely; Daisy adored her and has been asking about her every day and saying she wants to go visit her in Seattle;
2) Our friend Marlene is visiting and we're having lots of fun;
3) Daisy had a follow-up dentist appointment yesterday about her broken tooth and did pretty darn well, overall. She did cry during the teeth-cleaning, but she got over it quickly and recovered well enough to allow the dentist to do a thorough inspection of her teeth afterward. The dentist told us that her broken tooth is looking very solidly rooted and unlikely to fall out, although she warned us that that could always change. It never turned gray, which is nice, and by the time she's 3 or 3 and a half, we could consider having it bonded (to make it whole again). We were told her teeth look good overall, not too much plaque, but there was a LITTLE plaque on a couple teeth, so we need to do even better with tooth-brushing. She is getting her two-year molars on the left side, and the dentist told us it was unusual to get them like that-- usually the bottoms come in first, and then the top ones, but with Daisy, the top AND bottom left are coming in simultaneously. Next the righthand molars need to come in, and then she'll be all finished with her baby teeth coming in! We were told that her teeth look good in terms of her bite and the spacing between them, etc. I hope she inherited my teeth because I never needed any form of orthodunture, not even a retainer, and I've never had a cavity. Keeping my fingers crossed that my genes got to Daisy in just this one category :-)
If anyone needs a pediatric dentist in SF, let me know because I would highly recommend this one (who was recommended to me by Dena). They are very good with kids. The waiting room is filled with toys and is quite inviting for children, and the hygienists who work there as well as the dentists are very good at putting children at ease and even making the process somewhat fun. We left with stickers, toys, a snowflake tree ornament, a timer for toothbrushing, and informational packets on tooth care that were actually entertaining to look at together. It is expensive, of course, but I am thrilled that our dental insurance is covering 70% of it, so really it has not been a lot. Definitely worth it, too.

The carelessness and bad habit can create a discolored layer on your teeth surface and the germs may damage the roots of the teeth. The efficient dentist can examine your dental problems, and can provide you the effective treatment for that. The Dentist SF always ensures the high quality dental services to their clients. By putting lots of efforts they keep on maintaining hygiene and clean in their clinics.
