2nd Dentist Trip

Ok so these are old pics! This is when he bit through his cheek at our "old school" and had our very first ER visit! I was in the room back when I was the director of the preschool and he was running and slid into a table hitting his mouth and biting through his cheek and bottom lip, well, ER doc gave us some "magic mouthwash" and did not do any stitches or anything except look at it.
Long story short, went to dentist today and teeth look great, no cavities, he was cracking me up! Drama king during the polishing with his mouth wide open asking "Are you done yet?" "Are you finished yet" it was hilarious. Then she tried to floss and Turner put his hand up and said " we don't put string in our mouth". I had to explain that we have the little picks with the floss on them! It was funny.
Ok, so about the injury, they said that he has way too much scar tissue in his cheek and is frequently biting it while chewing or talking causing it to scar even more. I've noticed a few times he says ouch while chewing.. so she wants to wait another 6 months to see if with his face and mouth grow if the scar tissue will dissolve with the growth of the mouth. If not laser surgery to remove. Sounds interesting.
Ok, so there's our dentist story, he was so good! Seriously, I laughed the whole time!
