Dental Checkups - A Must for Young Children

 "As soon as your child has cut his milk (baby) teeth, about the age of two years, it's time to plan semiannual visits to the dentist."


I guess this opinion varies.
I was told by a pediatrician that once the teeth come in, it's time for a dental appointment.

I was told by another pediatrician that unless there were dental issues, you can wait for the first dental check up.

I was told by our dentist recently that it is a good idea for my 3 year old to come to dental check ups to get used to them and see what a dentist appointment looks like.

The key here is to start developing a positive attitude about seeing a dentist.

This is super important because my dental appointments as a child were not positive.
They were incredibly unpleasant.
So unpleasant that I kept my kids from going to the dentist until they were older.

I wanted them to be prepared.
Thankfully they have really good teeth so we could wait.

Our dental office is wonderful!
They are really good at what they do.
Nice, friendly, and they give the kids a prize at the end of their appointment.

Dentists have gotten a bad reputation.
Between television, movies, and stereotypes, we just have not put these guys in a good light.


Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors was my favorite tho.

But if your dentist should ever act like this guy...

Call tha police

Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter "Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world." Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post.  This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion.  Jesus would go on to be betraye

"Is There a Doctor in the House?" "Medical emergencies may occur at ay time, especially with young children. Prepare ahead of time by knowing exactly what you will do if it becomes necessary to get medical assistance quickly." Let's just sum up this blog post. AMERICAN HEALTHCARE SUCKS I hate doctors and their offices and their bills. This broken system we have is why "natural" remedies are becoming popular. We choose something other than a professional to treat us because our insurance won't cover services or the doctor might just misdiagnose us and throw meds at us. I'm sure this isn't everyone's experience. It has been mine for years. I had a good doctor once. If you want good medical services it will cost you. Remember when you could just go to a doctor? Now you have to make an appointment months in advance. If you need same day service, go to Urgent Care. If you are experiencing an
