Was up bright and early this morning to take Lydia to a dentist’s appointment at 8:20. A couple of months ago there was extensive water damage done to our local medical building, so services in our town were moved for the time being about ten miles away to a neighboring town. So as not to terribly inconvenience students and the elderly, however, a temporary dental office was set up in a trailer that’s been parked outside the school here, and that’s where Lydia and I went today. It’s pretty cramped inside, but they seem to have everything they need. I think it’s probably worse for the dentist and hygienist than for the patients — I think I’d be pretty claustrophobic by day’s end if I were cooped up there from 9 to 5.<\/p>\n
The high point of the appointment was learning that she doesn’t have any cavities (despite my rather lackadaisical supervision of tooth-brushing). The low point was that there was more talk of braces. She has a narrow upper jaw, apparently, and her top molars touch against the inside of her bottom molars, which is a Bad Thing. She has another appointment on Monday morning (at 7:50AM, on a day off from school, no less!) to have a mold made of her top teeth. The mold will be sent away to the orthodontist for evaluation, and we’ll learn more later. Vain as she is, Lydia is less than pleased at the thought of a mouthful of hardware. Me, I have to admit that I’m almost a little jealous. When I was a kid our insurance wouldn’t cover the “cosmetic” procedures of correcting my underbite and the gap in my front teeth, and I would have LOVED to have braces. What’s that they say — orthodontics are wasted on the young? So true.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
