Dental Exam







Tuesday was Madina’s first visit to a dentist ever. She was so incredibly good and brave. I was so proud of her. This wonderful dentist (Dr. Hix in Huntersville) has treated children from Belarus in the past and says that all these children are the best behaved and bravest he’s ever seen. Evidently, there is no comparison with American kids.

I was very surprised to hear how bad Madina’s teeth are. I guess all the children have many, many cavities. Overall their teeth and gums are in very poor health. Unfortunately, Madina will need several teeth pulled (luckily, baby teeth) and cavities filled and sealed. Orbal was our interpreter that day. She is so awsome!  I haven’t talked much about these wonderful ladies, but I will in another post.
