Abigail goes to the dentist

Dr. Lloyd recently retired and so at the beginning of June we went to the new dentist who took his place (a young Wyatt from Hazelton) to have teeth cleaning done and they discovered that Abby had 4 cavities in her baby teeth.
It was a very traumatic ordeal for Abby and many tears were shed on the first visit. We learned very quickly that she would have nothing to do with the wedges to hold open her mouth and she did not like the "happy gas." After the first visit she told me that it wasn't too bad except for the numb mouth for the next 4 hours. The second visit wasn't too difficult but I about died when she told me the bill was $808! What!?*@#$%$%^* They charged me $202 for each tooth filling - and they were baby teeth for crying out loud! The cavities were just on the surface too! Time to shop around for a new dentist.....
