Hola, mi gente linda de 
Primero les cuento que varias personas me habían dicho que en la Fundación del Niño Simón de mi ciudad prestaban el servicio de odontología para los niños y adolescentes gratis. Servicio que a nivel privado es bastante costoso y que hemos venido costeando desde hace tiempo.
Lo malo es que Ámbar es la que no se había querido atender y la que más lo necesitaba. Así que quise probar con esta fundación.
Fui a buscar la cita y me la dieron como para dentro de dos días y cuando llegamos ya era tarde. Luego me la dieron en una semana, y la odontóloga no vino, así que busqué una nueva cita y me la dieron en dos semanas.
Hasta que por fin nos atendieron, el lugar bien chévere, limpio, bonito y agradable. Hay varios consultorios de diferentes especialidades, entre ellas de psicopedagogo y pediatría, aparte de odontología. También tienen un comedor y un parque para niños.
Mis princesas tenían el tercer y cuarto lugar; pasamos todas juntas y atendieron primero a Arianna se quedó tranquila y qué bueno que fue rápida la reparación de una muela a la que se le había roto la amalgama; era una pieza para la que ya había pagado 25 dólares para que se la arreglaran; no duró ni un año.
Ámbar iba viendo todo; hasta se distrajo con un ratón Pérez disfrazado de Santa Claus, preguntando que si ese era el que traía los regalos de los dientes mudados, jejeje.
Cuando fue su turno, se sentó en la silla relajada, sin nervios. Yo rogando a Dios que así fuera. Ya le había hablado con ella que aprovechara la oportunidad, que era gratis, porque si no teníamos que ir al odontólogo pago.
La odontóloga primero le estuvo diciendo cómo cepillarse correctamente y revisarla a ver qué le iba a hacer. Ella tenía un colmillo flojo y una muela, así que le pusieron anestesia, primero en crema y luego 2 inyecciones. Aguanto valientemente; yo no la quería ni ver para que no se pusiera nerviosa ni malcriada.
Le sacaron las dos piezas sin una lágrima, ni quejas, pero bueno, yo estaba muy aliviada y agradecida a Dios, que le pedí mucho para que así fuera.
La doctora le dijo que en una hora le comprara una gelatina o helado y así lo hicimos. Al salir fuimos al supermercado y compramos 2 helados. Ella me dice: "Esta odontóloga sí me gusta porque dijo que me comprarían helados, jejeje.
Nos fuimos a casa y Arianna se cambió para ir a clases y Ámbar se quedaría en casa con el papá para que yo fuera al trabajo, pero no quiso; no tuve corazón para dejarla, así que nos quedamos juntitas.
Ella estaba entusiasmada, porque el Ratón Pérez le traería un obsequio por su diente. Si vieran lo feliz que estaba al despertar y ver su regalo. Son tradiciones bonitas y que alivian un poco el trauma de la pérdida de sus dientes, la verdad que me ha resultado. Aunque a veces es una lucha para que se cepillen en la noche.
Bueno, amigos, la verdad que fue una muy buena experiencia; ya pronto las estaré llevando a consulta nuevamente; espero que todo vaya bien. Es nuestro deber cuidar de su salud bucal, aunque a veces sea una lucha constante.
Free dental care for children and teenagers
Hello, my lovely people at
First, I'll tell you that several people had told me that the Simón Children's Foundation in my city provided free dental services for children and teenagers. This service is quite expensive in the private sector, and we have been paying for it for some time.
The problem is that Ámbar was the one who didn't want to go, even though she was the one who needed it most. So I decided to try this foundation.
I went to make an appointment and they gave me one for two days later, but when we arrived, it was too late. Then they gave me one for a week later, but the dentist didn't show up, so I made a new appointment and they gave me one for two weeks later.
When they finally saw us, the place was really nice, clean, pretty, and pleasant. There are several offices for different specialities, including educational psychology and paediatrics, in addition to dentistry. They also have a dining room and a playground for children.
My princesses were third and fourth in line; we all went in together and they saw Arianna first. She was calm, and luckily the repair of a tooth with a broken filling was quick. It was a tooth that I had already paid £25 to have fixed, and it didn't even last a year.
Amber watched everything; she was even distracted by a tooth fairy dressed as Santa Claus, asking if that was the one who brought gifts for lost teeth, hehehe.
When it was her turn, she sat down in the chair, relaxed and not nervous. I prayed to God that it would be that way. I had already told her to take advantage of the opportunity, which was free, because otherwise we would have to go to a private dentist.
The dentist first told her how to brush properly and examined her to see what needed to be done. She had a loose canine tooth and a molar, so they gave her anaesthesia, first in cream form and then two injections. She bravely endured it; I didn't even want to watch so she wouldn't get nervous or upset.
They removed the two teeth without a tear or complaint, but I was very relieved and grateful to God, whom I had prayed to so much for this to happen.
The doctor told her to buy her some jelly or ice cream in an hour, so we did. On the way out, we went to the supermarket and bought two ice creams. She said to me, "I really like this dentist because she said they would buy me ice cream, hehehe.
We went home and Arianna got changed to go to school and Amber was going to stay at home with her dad so I could go to work, but she didn't want to; I didn't have the heart to leave her, so we stayed together.
She was excited because the Tooth Fairy was going to bring her a gift for her tooth. If only you could have seen how happy she was when she woke up and saw her gift. These are lovely traditions that ease the trauma of losing their teeth a little, and they've really worked for me. Although sometimes it's a struggle to get them to brush their teeth at night.
Well, friends, it was a really good experience; I'll be taking them back for another check-up soon; I hope everything goes well. It's our duty to take care of their oral health, even if it's sometimes a constant struggle.
