At the end of September we noticed a big chunk of one of Elise's molars was gone. A quick trip to the dentist determined that she had some decay and we needed to get it filled. Elise was giddy about it. Who knows why, but she could not wait for the appointment to get the sleeping juice shot in her mouth that would make all the cavity bugs fall asleep so the tools could get them all out before they knew what happened.
Elise was the perfect patient. She jumped up into the seat happily and did not move a muscle unless directed to do so. She did not enjoy the feeling of the novocaine wearing off. She kept telling me her face and mouth were tingly and her teeth hurt.
When I picked her up from school that afternoon she had chewed through the inside of her upper lip. She is still recovering from that terrible cancer sore.
