I am officially a Queen. I got my very first crown in December. It's not the crown you get at the dollar store. I got mine at the dentist and let me tell you it's not a cheap crown (We will be paying on it for awhile). I would have rather got mine at the dollar store!! :) I guess I am officially getting old..
My parents spent so much money on my teeth in my younger/teenage years that the least I can do it keep up on them. I am very good at getting my cleanings and any extra work the dentist thinks needs done. The amount of money my parents spent on my month is unbelievable. I got cleanings twice a year growing up, a head gear, mouth piece before braces, braces, full mouth reconstruction surgery & 2 more retainers after braces were off. Wow!! Try adding that up for a family of 9. I am soooo grateful for my parents and all the time & money they invested into my beautiful smile. That is the first thing you see on my face is my big smile & my straight teeth. I make sure I show it off.
I believe it is very important to make sure you take care of your teeth and make sure your children have the care they need to have a nice smile. If that means, braces or even full mouth reconstruction surgery then do it. I am so glad I am not walking around as an adult with a big over bit because man my bothers had some nasty names for me growing up.
I will be sure my children have nice teeth because of the high standards my parents set on me.
Thank You soooo much MOM & DAD for my beautiful smile. That was a big sacrifice financially for you i'm sure but I am so grateful for it. One of the many things you gave me as a child. Love you both for my smile..
I just went to my new dentist yesterday and he commented on my nice dental work. I am also a queen, but I have more crowns than you. Probably close to one per child!
