Apparently we hadn't made it clear enough to D that the dentist was going to fix her teeth not at his office but at Really Good Children's Hospital. We pulled up out front and she took one look out the window and said.....
"This NOT the dentist. I no going!!!!"
Fortunately, she did finally decide to get out of the car and go willingly (and by willingly I mean being carried and crying at the top of her lungs)
We got there at 7 and by 7:46 she was under anesthesia. Much faster than normal surgery (also they allowed us to stay with her while they started- which is another big improvement over the main surgery unit at the hospital)
It took about 3 hours to get all the work done and the dentist wants to work with her to desensitize her to dental procedures (since he suspects a big problem with her toothbrushing issues are a result of trauma related to multiple cleft procedures)
But for now her teeth are all healthy and after a meal of Tim Horton's strawberry Timbits (yeah I know dentist, Timbits, marvel at the irony) she is pretty much back to normal- whatever that means.
