My daughter had a dental cleaning appointment this evening.
The dentist told me he has good news and bad news. The good news was that she has no cavity. The bad news was she will need to wear braces in the future.
I knew she will need it one of these days. I also knew it is not right now.
However, the dentist thinks differently from me. He gave me a referral to an orthodontist. He wants us to go see an orthodontist soon.
I asked the dentist how many baby teeth my daughter still has. He said 12.
I thought to myself why on earth he wants us to go see an orthodontist at this moment. But I didn’t say anything to the dentist. I know he will argue with me about that.

After I came back home, I talked with my husband. He agrees with me to wait to see an orthodontist until all the baby teeth come out. I think it will be the age of 16 or so. My daughter is still 9 years old. We believe it is too early to wear braces.

When I had braces, I didn’t doubt anything. I just followed my orthodontist’s suggestions. He took out my 8 teeth. He gave it to me every time he pulled it out. I would examine my pulled tooth. It never had a decay or cavity. He pulled out my totally healthy teeth.
Now I am smart enough not to blindly accept whatever medical people say to me.
I have learned each tooth is connected with our organs. I will make my best efforts for my daughter to find the best orthodontist. He/she is willing to listen to me and discuss the method without pulling all the healthy teeth.
I know it is hard to find, but I believe there should be some good ones somewhere. Anything can be possible as long as I believe powerfully.
