Tuesday, June 10, 2008

Today was dentist day for Joyce,Odell,Naomi,Joshua, and Grace.Jeff drove them up to Fairbault where our dentist office is located.

All went well.The only cavity was in one of Joyce's baby teeth but the dentist thought they would not fill it but wait for the tooth to just fall out.

Joyce was the only one who did not actually get her teeth cleaned on account of some miss communication between Jeff and myself.Two of the girls originally tested positive for Hep C.Jeff was thinking Joyce was one of the two but it was actually Odell and Naomi.I guess I failed to tell Jeff that after a second set of blood tests it was determined that both Odell and Naomi had a false positive Hep C result with the first set of blood tests.They do not have Hep C.Jeff not knowing all this told the dentist of the possibility of Joyce having Hep C and the dentist thought it best to not clean her teeth until we know for sure.No big deal.Joyce will need to go back soon to actually get her teeth clean.My question is what would the dentist do if Joyce actually had Hep C.Would they not clean her teeth?What is the difference between a 'potential positive' and a 'for sure positive' Hep C result when it comes to teeth cleaning.I would think the same preventative safety measures would be taken regardless.Anyone know?

Anyway,here is Grace's beautiful smile!
