To drill or not to drill
I found out last night at church, that the place where we have Aubrey going for his dentistry work, may not be the best place to go. This makes me a little sad and mad too. Apparently this place has a reputation for doing much more dental work than maybe actually necessary. A very good friend of mine, who's opinion I totally respect told me about her experience. The same doctor told her that her son had 7 cavities, and her regular dentist said that he had none!!! How horrible. Then another church member said the same thing. And they know others with the same experience. So....I went and got his x-rays and treatment plan and took it to our regular dentist for his second opinion. I think that even if he agrees with the treatment plan, that I will still go somewhere else. I just don't feel comfortable about it anymore. Plus Aubrey silver tooth makes him look like "bling bling boy" (My hubby came up with that one). Imagine his mouth with 3 more silver crowns.......
Like I learned at the "Women of Faith" conference this weekend.....it's not a problem, just an inconvenience. The conference was ok this year. Something was different from last year, I'm just not sure what it was. But, I guess if I can come away with one truth to hold on to, it was worth it. Plus AVALON was there and they were AWESOME. They are so good.
Poor Parker, I guess one day I'll have to blog about him....it's all about Aubrey these days.....

It's true, we've actually had dentists within the same practice come up with completely different treatment plans. Good call on the 2nd opinion. If it was something like a cavity, I'd find out how deep it is, sometimes with children if it's just starting out, they "brush" it off with the handpiece and it doesn't need a filling.
My niece was told by a doctor in the last practice I worked in that she needed crowns. We called in the head doc and showed him her x-rays and charts and he totally disagreed with it. The doc that did the original work was known in the practice for bringing in the most money.
Yeah anyway, don't you have a child named Parker too? lol :) xoxo
