today was our very first visit to the dentist. and man, have children's dentist offices changed since i was little! this place has an air hockey table, 4 video game consoles, a movie amphitheater, tree house play area, parent waiting lounge and tv's at each patient chair. craziness!
the first words out of graham's mouth when we walked in the door.....'woah!'
he was so good too, momma was very proud. he let the assistant clean his teeth, floss his teeth, take images of his teeth as well as xrays! he got to pick out what he watched on his tv, and went with diego. and of course, it was a dinosaur episode!! perfect! he was so good he got to pick out three prizes at he end of his visit too. and a special treat each child gets when they leave is a big bouncy ball they get out of one of the big gumball machine looking things. he was so excited!
bad news though...i had noticed a spot on one of his back molars, and it was worse than i expected. poor dude has to go back in next week for a pulpotomy as well as a repeat frenulectomy on both his tongue and upper lip. and i'm freaking out because he's going to have to go under iv sedation. :( i know he'll be fine, but i feel like such a failure that he has to go through all of this.
the words he said to me tonight....'mommy, i have to brush my teeth so i can go back to the dentist tomorrow!' oh buddy, little do you know. hopefully this next visit won't make him scared to go to the dentist since he had such a positive visit today.
Sorry sweet boy...but we are proud of the good job you did for both visits!! A big boy!!
