Our sweet little Sophia loves to eat sweets, but unfortunately her teeth do not like them. Sophia was unable to complete sedation dentistry in January thus needed to have general anesthesia to complete the dental work. We found Sophia grew more anxious in the months, weeks and days leading up to the surgery. Her wonderful preschool teacher sent home lots of books on kids going to the hospital. The teacher even had the class make a get well card! The morning of surgery Sophia smiled to see a rad wagon would take her to the OR, just like in one of the books we read. After surgery Sophia was eager to wake up and get out of the hospital as fast as possible. We are all relieved that the experience is over.

| Inspecting the Princess Crown |
After inspecting her dental work, Sophia exclaimed that she loved her new "princess crowns" and wanted a whole mouth of them to shine. Thankfully, we were able to get her to understand that less is much better when it comes to princess crowns.
