Took Heckyl and Jeckyl for the dentist for what was to be a scheduled cleaning. But....Heckyl had 3 teeth removed (and 2 more to go at a later date). Poor kid didn't have enough room in his mouth, so some of the baby teeth had to go. He was very brave. I, on the other hand....ready to pass out watching it happen. I had my head between my knees because the world was starting to spin.
[/DIV] Were you OK with that Lil Me? I remember when my oldest was a wee one, and I had taken her to the dentist....it was assumed that she was in for a 'check-up'...when someone finally came out and told me they had pulled 4 of her teeth. No consult.... no nothing. Not only was I mortified that they had pulled her teeth without consulting me.....they hadn't even given her (or me) the option of 'being there' with her (or for her). I was livid ....and even after all these years, I'm still livid. Things are different now..and parents are not left out of these decisions (they wouldn't dare)....but 'back then', it wasn't like that.
