than I thought. Damara did pretty well and she just loved her Dentist. Even though she cried when he was flossing her teeth, once done, she blew him a kiss and said "Thank you"! She just stole everyone's heart there! Her gums are better than expected, no cavities and do not need to return for 6 months! She does however, have a "very large/thick muscle connecting " KWIM? I forgot the name of it... Anyway, most likely will need to be "clipped" once all her perm. teeth are in, but ....overall...very happy with how things went!
Sorry so long for an update, I for some reason couldn't post on this site for a while! But, back up today...YEAH! ;D

Thank you all for your help with this. The Dentist has come highly recommended by the peditrician and she stated that she sends all her patients to him and gets very good feed back! Keeping my fingers crossed. We have begun "counting teeth" and opening wide, she is doing very well with this, and talk about how the dentist will count her teeth and look in her mouth...she says "OK"...let's see what happens when we actually get there!

Thanks for the heads up. I will call tomorrow. It's so hard to get any answers out of the government and they just say "NO" and don't say anything else.

We don't have SSI or Medicaid for her. We were rejected they stated that we made too much money from Unemployment! Go figure...and the private ins. companies wont cover her pre-existing or anything related to her pre-existing, which is just about everything...we are in a tight corner. I have contacted our governor office and they are looking into this for us, but for now...out of luck!

We had a Dr. visit to make sure that Damara sleep issues are NOT related to ear infection etc... Well, she is fine and it is simply (or not so simply) night terrors...GRRR. Anyway, the Dr. noticed that Damara has swollen / red gums and needs to go to the Dr. She is suspecting some gum disease. I could not believe this! She is doing very well allowing me to brush her teeth and they are so clean and white, I never suspected! WEll, I was shocked. She is on antibiotics now to see if the swelling might be from her hands being constantly in her mouth and MAYBE it's bacteria?? But in the mean time we have an appt. with a dentist for next Wends. I KNOW...she should have gone by now, but we don't have any insurance due to both of us out of work and I didn't think it was a 911 situation... Any tips on how to prep a 3 year old to participate in a dental visit? Any words re: gum disease? Experience???

Well, I am going to speak with the Pharmasist today to get info on the melontonin and dosage. I thought we were heading down a good road with her, we were using Benedryl to help her sleep to change her sleep patterns, but the 1st night without it...back up! GRRRR....so, gonna try something else I guess.

We are losing much sleep in this house due to Poor Damara's sleep issues. She seems to be screaming alot mostly "NOOOOO" then her legs go crazy! kicking like nuts and I am now brusing! She spent last night screaming and kicking approx. every 30-45 mins....we really are tired and the poor kid is just exhausted. We have started her on a liquid vitamin in hopes that this would help. she has been taking them for approx. 1 1/2 weeks and it obviously hasn't cured the issue...Any one have any ideas? I have read that this is common in children, but was hoping maybe someone had a remedy that works??? Keeping my fingers crossed and trying to keep my eyes open! Yawn....
