We had taken the boys to our local family practice dentistry since they were each 2. Cade always seemed to have cavities but it wasn't till this last filling attempt in August that something different was done. We were referred to the pediatric dentist in Peru, IL.
While waiting for our appointment to come, Joel chipped one of his molars. So when it came time for Cade's appointment, I asked them to take a look at Joel's teeth. Well they had more answers than we were looking for. Even Cade's teeth were worse than what we thought with another cavity. So after an exam, we were given a plan, and we scheduled the dates to start the process of repair. Unfortunately the plan involved 3 crowns for Joel with some nerve therapy, and 1 crown and 3 fillings with nerve therapy for Cade. All totaling around $1800.
Though I have felt like the worse mom ever; one for the pain the boys have had to endure and second, for the large bill, I am trying to move on and have a plan to keep this from happening again. Brushing, FLOSSING, and no candy and fruit snacks! Praying we don't have another month like this again.
