Emergency Dental Work in Cambodia
While we were in Cambodia, Milo lost his two front teeth. He was 2.5 years at the time and it was a bit traumatic (for me, not him) however I am pleased to say that overall this is a pretty positive story.

We hired a tuk tuk (our drivers name was Walter) and headed out to visit our first stop: The temple of Ta Prohm. This is one of most popular temples that was apparently shot to fame in the movie Tomb Raider back in the early 2000’s. It is...
