Alex had his first ever dentist appointment, or as they call it "happy visit." He did fairly well with letting them count his teeth and that was about it. He got to hold a very cool dragon called Danny that had a huge mouth full of teeth and a super big yellow tooth brush. This was pretty cool.
The appointment was going great until a discolored spot was found on a back molor. Alex officially has his first cavity. I am trying to keep my head up about this, but it just bugs me! This is a kid who rarely gets candy, has never even had a sucker, gets watered down juice about twice a week unless it's a special occasion, and has had about 4 sips of soda his entire life. Ugh.
I guess he is doomed with my teeth. Oh joy.
When I go back for my next ortho appointment Alex will be getting his cavity filled. Of course, I am pretty nervous about it. They are filling us a perscription for some sedation medication to give to him beforehand and he shouldn't remember a thing... hopefully. I hated the dentist as a child and I still get anxious now, so I definately do not want my children to have the same experiences.
Lets hope it goes well!
