Last week, she complained of her cheek hurting. I did kind of brush it off... then she complained the next day as well. I looked and saw a chip in her back, bottom left molar - a small one on the corner of her tooth. We talked about it just a little (I didn't want her to freak out or make a huge deal about it), but Ryan looked at it when he got back from traveling, and we called the dentist.
This morning (her very first time at the dentist) - we had to do an X-ray, and Dr. Copley said there's a cavity!! *insert heart break here Super bummed... and I feel bad. I know we didn't do anything wrong, we didn't 'fail' her, it just happened... but it still really REALLY stinks!!
After another quick look and a discussion, we'll be going back next week to get the cavity cleaned out and filled. A process for a little girl, in my opinion.
Positive note - she did do well - no crying, but she was super shy... BUT she did everything the hygienist asked her to. I know Cora was nervous... but I'm super proud of her.
More to come...
