I have had the bad fortune of having to visit the dentist. And all I can say is Owieeeee! Dentist visits are no fun. It made me think of my little abies and when they have toothaches. How miserable they feel and how they suffer. Poor little ones up crying all night and not much to soothe the pain. There are lots of home remedies that Mothers use that help to ease the pain. So be sure to take care of those pearly whites! Listen to your MOM! Sara 1 888 430 2010
