What A Trooper

Zack was not blessed with having great teeth (Thanks to my Mom and brother :) Zack brushes his teeth all the time, but it still does not prevent cavities. Poor Zack had to have 3 root canals, and 8 stitches on Thursday. He was hurting most of the day on Thursday, but by Friday he was back to his happy self. Zack will be on antibiotics for about another week. Zack now has 3 silver caps in the back of his mouth. Zack calls these caps his Batman power.

We are blessed to have a great dentist! The first time we met him he was very nice and the kids warmed up to him well. A couple days later I took Jourdan to boy scouts at the LDS Church and guess who was his scout leader?? Dr. Burt aka Brother Burt!! Dr/Brother Burt is even taking the kids to church for me since I currently have to work on Sunday's. We are lucky. Here are a few before and after pics of Zack. The dentist office is amazing!!!!

Poor little guy! I feel for him. I am the same way. No matter what I do, I just have rotten teeth. I actually need to go in and get some work done but have been putting it off until Emersyn was older.

No fun! I can't imagine that at such a young age. I hope he doesn't grow up dreading the dentist. Sounds like a great dentist/office though. Go Batman power!

That's the dentist's office?! I would go there to get my teeth worked on! Glad he's recovering well! Too cool about him being the scout leader too!
