What are you gonna do today?

Sweet daughter had 4 baby teeth pulled today. She's not so sweet right now.

I'm a little ticked because our dentist of the last 4 years never mentioned or seemed concerned that she still had baby teeth. We switched because I hate dentists so I tend to hop from dentist to dentist. I found one that I actually like and decided to move her over also.

She also mentioned that my daughter's tonsils are WAY too large to be healthy, so I'm ticked at the pediatrician too.

Don't fall for the "tonsil's are way too large to be healthy" routine. . . They said that about me 40 years ago, and I still got them! 

Now, sore throats are painful and if they get frequent it might be time to get them out. Otherwise, I'd let them "hang"!

Way back in olden times, everyone had their tonsils out by the time they were 6 or 7. When my kids were little they wouldn't take anyone's tonsils out until they were so bad it was scary. I will say the younger (within reason) the patient the faster they recover from having their tonsils out.

when i was a kid my mom took me to get mine taken out, i freaked out, started hysterically begging to go home. and she told them, nope, she is too scared, we are taking her home. not even popsicles tempted me. so we went home, i kept them. for about a week, til my uncle promised me a new Hardy Boys book and a quarter. 

lol, i cringe now at my cheapness. should have been two books....
