Ava Kate is officially an adult, well in the dentist world.
From the age of 2 through 16, we have visited Dr. Zoll and then Dr. Knierim.
She has officially "graduated" from the Pediatric Dentist and my mama heart aches.
A little story:
When Ava first came home from China, I took her a dentist in our area who I had seen as a child. Well, Ava was a thumb sucker and this dentist wanted to stop it immediately. He suggested putting spikes on the roof of her mouth to stop it from happening. She also had 5 cavities. I was so sad and couldn't stop thinking it was basically abuse. So I googled a new dentist and we found Dr. Zoll. She repaired all 5 of her cavities while gently reciting the Lorax to Ava. She took a little break and Ava asked "what happened next?" She forgot why we were even there because Dr. Zoll was amazing! I knew we found our new home.
Dr. Zoll eventually retired and Dr. Knierim took over and she is just as amazing. I'm glad I have them for a few more years with Addy.
But now....Ava visits the same as Dad and I.
