Dentist

Yesterday I had a very traumatic Dentist experience. On my last Dentist checkup it was discovered that I had 4 cavities! That's right...4!! I brush my teeth, but still had cavities. Mommy says I must have her bad teeth. She takes care of her teeth and still has lots of cavities. Of course Daddy hardly ever gets cavities. No fair.

Daddy took me to a new Pediodentist to get my cavities. I was really good when they looked at my teeth and I even let them do x-rays! No problem! Then they gave me a little drink to relax me. That took about 45 minutes to kick in before they could give me my shot to numb my mouth. After it took effect they took me back to the room to do the cavities. This is when the bad part started. They put me in the chair and had to strap me down and put my head in a vice so I couldn't move. I did not like that. After they were done I was really, really upset. Daddy told mommy that when he saw me he almost started crying. When I got home I went straight to bed and told everyone to "Leave me alone!". After my nap and a PB&J I was better. The dentist did give me a balloon and a new stuffed Nemo fish. I guess Mommy asked around and found out the whole strapping down thing is common for cavities in Toddlers. She and Daddy wish someone had told them to prepare me....and them. But now it is over. Let's hope the next check up is better!
