athena how ya doing gal great to hear from ya.
queen scoot that smily is totally me right now, are you peeking in my window? LOL!
well gals the dentist trip was ok for the girls but awefull for me so heres the story
I took the girls to this new dentist office in the mall call KoolSmiles a Dr. Phillip, we get in there and get the paperwork done, and not to long and they call them back, so haley goes in to th x-ray room first and blaylee and I go sit in the dentist chair while waiting for sis to get done they do one xray kind in one room then take her and gett another xray in a panoramic type view in another room and all the while shes asking whats happening whats going on, shaking, and the aid never says a work to her to calm her fears, or tell her what hes doing so she understands whats going on. so then next up is blaylee, and this being her first time to ever go to the dentist, to my surprise they want to take xrays of her too- yea a 3 yr old and a xray chair not happening! so they ask me to come and help and they are wanting to put some kind of little deal of flim or what not in her mouth that 1 won't fit and 2 expecting her in to want to bite it or lick it or take it out or move! I told them that this wasn't going to happen so he goes and asks another aid about it and she says why are you trying to get them there isn't really no need at that age. so after that here we are in the dentist chairs girls side be side both getting worked on at the same time. Now mind you that we know that haley has a cavatity that has been bothering her, and we had been trying to gett state medicad for the girls for 2 months, since DH just went back to work. so the aids start to cleaning their teeth haleys aid of course explains nothing says nothing and she's scared out of her mind, but is very quite and holds very still but is squzziing my hand so tight that it leaves red marks, but blaylees aid talks to her and shows her the tools and such and blaylee has a great time. then comes the main guy the dentist, comes in says nothing to me, sits down sticks his finger in haleys mouth and PULLS it open doesn't ask her to open it then starts his thing, counting and scraping and such works for a whole 5 mins and then moves on to blaylee and does the same thing. then when hes done the aid takes the girls to go pick out prizes, so I am still in the main room where there are also other patiants and moms and dads getting stuff done and he asks me what is their diet like and how much suger do they eat, normal question I think and I say lots of homecooking, not hardly any fast food, but they get candy or ice cream nearly everday for grandma and daddy and sometimes me as I do the yogart thing instead but grandma give haley an ice cream everyday that whe bring home a all smiley face behaveor report from school which is everday. So he looks straight at me and says to me in front of everyone in the room that giving them any kind of suger at all is a form of unentenanul (sp?) child abuse. "WHAT, WAIT A MINUTE HERE!" did I hear him right, and then he goes in to explaining how it is child abuse, by giving them candy, at all they start to get cavitiys, and kids don't brush good enough so the parents should be doing it for them. ? and when they get the cavitiys they are in pain and because they are in pain we take them to the dentist, and he had to fix it, and there in we are abusing our children. So he says to me again you and your family giving them that suger your are unententnully abusing your children. HE DIDN"T JUST SAY THAT AGAIN! did he. Yes he did. by this time my face is redd and I am ready to punch someone! so then he tells me that kids should not have any snacks in between meals only water! who has a kid who wants water when their hungry? SO then he tells me that haley has an abess baby tooth that will have to be pulled, write a script for pain meds and gets up and leaves. the aid takes me to the front and lays some papers down and asks me to sign them without telling me what the are, so I said well before I sign anything you need to explain to me what these papers are, so he goes into telling me these are the treatment plans for the children, haley needs one tooth pulled, 4 baby teeth crowned with silver crowns, 3 fillings and sealent on all the teeth. blaylee is showing signs of beinning decay form the candy but is ok and will not need to be seen for 6 months, so haley is needing all this done to teeth that are going to be falling out in the next year or two. And I had to make the aid tell me, the dentist never said a word about it and the aid wouldn't have told me if I hadn't made him explain it before I agreed to sign any papers. Talk about Mad as an ole wet hen! so today I am going to be making some phone calls to the insurence to let them know what happend and to see if I can get her in to see another dentist somewhere else and thenI am going to call the HQ to this national chain of dentist offices and let them know how there employees are treating the customers. so I had a very full day ahead of me. so to all those of you who have kids that are younger and are still quite young like me (well in the 20s and 30s as I am 27)
make sure you ask questions, know whats going on, don't sign anything that you are unsure of, or don't know what it says or means make the someone explain it to you. Don't let these doctors and dentists or healthcare people walk all over you,as they are suppose to be there to help you, not to hurt, scare, or anything else and if they do you let them know that they are out of line and out of place. I want my kids to have good expereinces and this by far was the worse and I sat down and told the girls that I was sorry and that what they did was not right and that we are going to make sure that won't happen to them again or anyone else.
WEll theres Maws rant for the day, sorry gals it just floors me what some people who calls themsleves professionals try to get by with these days so I am off to do my civil duty and get mean with some folks today. Hope everyones day is better and I will update ya'll on what happens. Later. Maw.
