First filling for Alyssa!
Was it traumatic? Were there screams and cries?

Well, actually......no. What no wild yelling? What fun is that? Why go to the Dentist then?
So why not? Perhaps, she was prepared. She knew that it would be different than before but similar to getting her teeth cleaned. She knew she might get a shot. She also knew that the people involved cared for her, the dentist, the assistant, and her daddy. Daddy took time to explain to her and so did the assistant and the dentist. She also had her Pooh-Bear!

So how can we be prepared for life's inevitable pains?

• First of all know they are coming, @!&%! Happens
• Put your trust in those who care for you
• When they fail (as we all do), put your trust in God
• Keep your "Pooh-Bear" close
