Colm had his second trip to the dentist today. It went SO MUCH better than the last time!!! He still cried and put up a little fight, but it was NOTHING like last time. He didn’t scream this time and I don’t think he broke any of the blood vessels in his face like he did last time. 🙂 The dentist did say that he needs a spacer and they are going to put it in next month. This means that they will be spreading the roof of his mouth to make it wider. I knew we were going to get this talk eventually. His teeth aren’t super bad, but he definitely needs some help. His teeth are SUPER close together and the shape of his mouth isn’t the way it should be. Why is it that the child who HATES the dentist has to have this done? He is going to have to get an impression (if you have had one you know how unpleasant that is), the spacer and then go back once a month for six months for “adjustments”. I hated my orthodontist. I know things have gotten better since the dark ages when I had braces, but still. I feel for the little man.
