Teeth

A quick diversion today to recommend a dentist. Cliff Steven from Cliff Steven Dental in Johnsonville, Wellington, New Zealand.

If you live in the vicinity and you need a dentist for your child, go to him. Our 9 year old has been to lots of dentists due to enamel hypoplasia of his milk teeth, and has a strong gag reflex. Not generally an excellent combination for dental visits, especially when mixed with a general intolerance for submitting to discomfort.

Cliff fixed #1 son up smoothly, quickly, and almost painlessly. The x-ray, always a point of much choking, gagging and general failure to cooperate, went without a hitch. #1 was in shock as 15 minutes after arriving he was back in the car sans tooth. He said walking back to the car that doesn't ever want to go to a different dentist.

#1 is now fine, and according to Cliff he looks to have a future without braces or cavities. Yay.
