We started the day with an hour and a half drive to the OC for Zack's dental appointment. He was supposed to be fitted for a bilateral spacer for the bottom of his mouth and a spacer for the top. The dentist did the first mold and then a light went on in her head. She walked over to the computer and reviewed his "file".
She then proceeded to tell me why she couldn't do the molds because the planned course of action would not work. She referred me to an orthodontist!!! Never mind that all of the dental work had been decided by the dentist and paid in full. Why she didn't have this revelation prior to today, I don't know! I know it is not about money because I refused her fist referral and will take him to USC for a consultation from their top dental students. His current dentist says he needs something to be put in his mouth to extend the roof of it and eliminate a cross bite.
All of this work is a result of a lack of dental care while he was in Russia. I feel so badly for him. He's a trooper though. So, we drove a long way for him to have his teeth cleaned, and the cleaning only happened because I insisted on it!
I'm too tired to switch these photos around! After the dental appointment, we decided to go to our favorite outdoor skateparks in the OC. After that, we came home and nearly immediately jumped into the pool.
There is a video of today in my next post as well.
