Arden has a couple of cavities, apparently she isn’t getting enough fluoride in her diet.  So we went to the dentist.  Because of Arden’s diabetes the dentist will have to admit her into the hospital to do her dental work.  She will have to be put to sleep, hooked to monitors to watch her blood glucose and given an I.V. to administer glucose into her system if she experiences low blood glucose during the procedure.

If she wasn’t diabetic the work would be performed in his office.  I’ll keep you posted on her progress.
