I LOVE dentists...

Why does it seem that whenever we go to the dentist they have good news.. and bad news.. It's like they want to make sure that we keep coming back to give them our money. All three kids had dentist appointments today, it was Mikey's first time! Thankfully they all did great, no fears so far! That may change in the future however. The dentist started out with glowing reports for all 3 kids, great teeth, no cavities, keep up the good work! Then he goes in for the kill and proceeds to tell me that 2 of them are most probably going to need orthodontic work when they get older due to their overbite. BAM! Dollar signs start flying behind my eyes.. I knew Mikey was most likely going to need some sort of work, that kid had the biggest overbite I've ever seen, We're talking Mr. Ed sized.. but Lillian? He then has the audacity to blame it on me.. He looks at me and says, "You have an overbite too, don't you?" Do I? News to me... So I show him my bite and he exclaims "Yes! It is exactly the same as Lillians! She must have gotten it from you!" Well, gee, thanks. Probably why I didn't notice hers since I didn't think I had a problem either! Oh well.. At least I can look forward to the next few orthodontic-free years before the money starts to fly!
