This past Monday, Ni'ke had a "smashing" encounter with the flagpole in the school yard at recess time! Thankfully she didn't hurt herself worse than she did, but a bloody lip and two broken front teeth were plenty! I took her to the dentist the next day and they bonded the back to cover the sensitive areas, she could hardly eat due to the pain from the back of her teeth being exposed! That got her through the next couple days, and then today I took her back to Dr. Berger for some more repair. He has been our kids' dentist for at least the past 5-6 years, and he is fabulous! He was able to sand and shape the areas that were broken off at the bottom, and they actually look pretty normal. Her two front teeth were very long, and they now are just a bit shorter! She'll need braces eventually anyway, so we're just waiting for them all to grow in.
I love the screen saver on Dr. Berger's computer - it's an underwater scene with fish and a beautiful reef - he shares a love of scuba diving with my husband, which is usually our favorite topic to discuss when we're all there!
Ni'ke displaying her prize that she got to pick on Tuesday for being such a fantastic patient!
Here's a "before" picture (it's after she ran into the flag pole, but BEFORE he fixed it!)
And today, AFTER!!!
Ni'ke doing what she loves to do - reading! - while we wait for Dr. Berger!
