cavity fighter ...

Grandpa Mengle will be proud to know his granddaughter was cavity free on her first visit to the dentist! Fluoride treatment - no problem. Choosing a new toothbrush to take home - no problem. Watching TV on a screen mounted in the ceiling - no problem. Laying down and seeing a guy with a surgical mask over his face - problem. So, while the experience wasn't without tears, overall, Alyssa did great ... and being cavity free earned her the distinction (seen at right) of a certificate for all to see in the dentist's office.
