an arizona woman named alecia took her 4yo daughter savannah to the dentist. the dentist said savannah had four cavities that needed to be filled, and alecia agreed that it was okay to fill the cavities. what the dentist actually did was to cap each tooth with silver.

whaaaat?

according to the news story, alecia sat in the waiting room while, in order to accomplish the fillings, the dentist sedated 4yo savannah.

whaaaat?

who allows someone - even a doctor - to sedate their 4yo without being present? i will tell you who: crazy folk. "hey, i am going to sedate your 4yo, and you can sit right here and watch some jerry springer on the waiting room teevee." "okay, doc!" OH, COME ON. no parent in their right mind lets that happen.

after the procedure, alecia takes a groggy savannah home. later, alecia looks in savannah's mouth and sees [insert dramatic music here...] silver teeth! every single last one of the teeth, capped with silver.

whaaaat?

did the dentist go in to fill cavities and change his mind when he got in there - or, did he plan the whole silver-cap thing as some sort of bait and switch? OH, COME ON. dentists don't work for kicks or for free. he's not going to take off and do unauthorized work. why not, ace? BECAUSE HE WON'T GET PAID.

like, this dentist is going to send a bill for "silver teeth" and alecia is going to go, "oh, right. silver teeth." ...okay, this woman probably would, but still. not only is it unethical but no dentist in his right mind is going to do work without knowing where the payment is coming from. which leads me to conclude, alecia doesn't pay for dental work... buuuuut let's not go there.

instead, let's backtrack.

alecia takes a groggy savannah home and LATER looks in her mouth and sees all the caps. firstly, parents don't leave the dentist without inspecting the work that was done. secondly, how many groggy 4yo's do you know that keep their tiny groggy mouths shut? i will tell you how many: NONE. every groggy 4yo IN THE WORLD has a giant gapey pie-hole leaking snotty drool all over themselves, you, the carseat, the car, the dog, and the mailman. COME OOOOON!

what are you saying, ace? i am saying, i don't believe the story.

but, ace, it was in the news. news is truth, right?

do me a favor: go look up manti te'o then come back here and tell me what you think about truth in news.
