Cutie Pie Moment....

From one of our dental assistants - "A patient came to us from China after being adopted by local parents. She is autistic and almost non-verbal, and required alot of work to be done to her teeth. She underwent IV sedation to complete the work, and did very well. When Mom brought her back in for a follow up appointment, she said that the the next day after the procedures were done, her daughter kept pointing at her teeth and saying to her, "I'm so happy!" She had apparently been in pain, but didn't know how to express this to her mother. I was so proud that we were able to alleviate her suffering and leave her with such a positive experience."
