We admit! We haven't been very proactive in bringing Kieona for her first dental visit. We've started talking about it slightly past Kieona's second birthday, and never got around to bringing her to one. A couple of months ago though, we did notice that her front teeth (men ya) were a little blackish from the inside. Mommy told Daddy we should really bring her for a dental check-up, but work and the everyday chores took precedence and we ended putting it off until heaven knows when.
This Tuesday, Daddy spotted a cavity (he called it a hole) in her front tooth and told Mommy about it. On the same morning in school, Ms Irene told us she just spotted that Kieona had a cavity. Ok, this time the scare prompted Mommy to call a dentist at Thomson Plaza to fix an appointment the minute she thought the clinic may be open.
So as it happened, Kieona went for her first dental check-up today after school. Daddy was kind enough to stay home and sent us there. Kierra came along too since we had picked them up from school and gone direct. And so it went - the dentist said that she has cavities! Not one, but four! Huh? Mommy thought there was only one huge one behind her front tooth? Or maybe at the most two - the other at the corner of the other front tooth.
Mommy must admit, I was pretty sunken with the thought of her having fillings done on her first visit. Will Kieona be afraid of the dentist from now or even cry when the cavities are being treated? Mommy just tried hard to keep the look of fear away. How can Kieona face what she needs to face if Mommy cringes at the thought of it?
The dentist explained to her that she needs to catch the worms in her teeth, and to fix it up and remove them all. All she needed to do was to put on sunglasses (the light is glaring), open her mouth and don't move. She obliged - didn't smile or didn't look frightened. Daddy, Mommy and Kierra were there watching her and giving her moral support. "She must need all the courage in the world now," Mommy thinks.
The dentist started "spraying water" in her mouth and drilling the cavities. We saw the large hole in the middle. It must hurt but Kieona was very brave. She just opened her mouth and seemed relaxed. Then Mommy saw blood. This must really hurt. But Kieona still looks like she is handling very well. Then while doing the filling halfway, Kieona fell asleep! :)) This is funny! In the dentist chair!!!
There were four cavities, but we only managed to get two filled. Not because Kieona wasn't able to manage it, but because she was tired and falling asleep. We're so proud of Kieona. Good job, Kieona!
Oh yes, Mommy forgot to mention - Kierra seem more fearful than Kieona was when Kieona was the one in the chair. While watching Jie jie, Kierra actually fell asleep. Ahh.... little Kierra, sweet baby.....

Colonel St Estienne of the French Army developed a military application of a civilian chassis, that was effectively a self-propelled gun with a very heavy artillery piece mounted in the nose.
