Teeth in pain is NO FUN!

One of the hardest thing for a parent to see is your child in pain!

 My poor Brenda has had such a hard time with her teeth since the age of 3!

 On Monday we finally made an appointment with the pediatric dentist. He discovered that her molar had grown in with a defect hole in it. Well the hole was right down to the nerve. She has been complaining off and on about her tooth hurting for a few months now. The dentist decided to layer the hole with medicine then the filling hoping that the nerves will "settle" down and she won't have to have a root canal. Her poor little mouth has been in pain with that nerve running along the side of all her teeth. He prescribed some stronger pain meds which of course make her nauseated. Are they working "who knows". She complains that it hurts a lot, then a little while later that it hurts a little. Very frustrating for a parent who wants to take away the pain. We are the 4th day. We are hoping the pain is less today!
