For such a little girl she sure has a big mouth....hee hee! Just teasing Sader B, anyway Sadie has had a cracked took for over a year, but it was causing no issues so we just left it alone. Lately she has been complaining so we took her to the dentist to find out that half of the took was hanging on by a thread (which aunt Stephanie pulled out one day when she was checking it out) and the other half of the took was abscessed and infected. So we needed to pull it and get a spacer made. So we tried oral sedation....where she got a little cocktail to drink...waited for 2 hours, finally fell asleep after she had diarrhea and threw up on me. They called her state "conscious sedation" whatever that means....I felt horrible for her, she was super out of it and they kept trying to do x-rays and she was having no part of it...so after 3.5 hours they gave up and told us she would need to get put to sleep. The dentist (Dr. Quackenbush) told me she would probably sleep the rest of the day, but when we got in the car she started yelling SHUT UP, in every form and variation she could think of at the top of her lungs....shut up right now, you shut up, shut up your mouth, et cetera....I have to admit it was pretty comical, if only there was someone else to witness it! So a month later we came back, they put her to sleep, pulled the tooth, cleaned out the abscess and made a spacer to hold the spot until her 10-year-old molar comes in. I took the pic while I was waiting for her to wake up. She looks so sad, but feels much better now.
