We have our first lost tooth. This tooth has been loose for a couple weeks and wouldn't let any of us touch it much less pull it. I was working one night last week and I get this picture. He let it hang so long that it just fell out, no bleeding or anything. The one beside it will probably come out in the next week or so I expect because its really loose as well.
Fast forward to December I think it was. Liam had a dentist appointment where they took some X-rays and found a cavity in one of his back bottom molars. We scheduled another appointment to come back and have that cavity filled. Ryan took him that day while I worked. I get a call from Ryan not long after his appointment had started telling me that the filling was a no go. He did fine until they put the topical numbing ointment on his gums and he lost it. His description of how his mouth felt was like there were "crabs in his mouth" He is so dramatic. Needless to say they recommended we go to Wild about Smiles where they could give him some medicine to calm his nerves.
He really liked Wild about Smiles and so did I. They were patient and explained everything to him so that he knew what was going on. We had a consultation first and then they made the appointment to do the filling.
We got there the morning of our appointment and they took him back and gave him a cup of "sleepy time juice" He drank it and then they took us to the "Sleepy Tiki Room" where he laid in my lap, cuddled up on the couch with a blanket and watched TV. Boy did he fight the medicine.
After about an hour he finally fell asleep.
I carried him into the room and they placed the gas on him. Before he drank the juice they let him pick which flavor of gas he wanted. He chose Strawberry.
His words when they put this on him was "My daddy has one of these" - Referring to Ryan's CPAP machine. He stayed awake the whole time, he was just very relaxed. I was so proud of him and I think he was proud of himself.
I stopped and got him a milkshake at Sonic per his request. He slept the whole way home and then slept for about 3 hours after we got home. Overall I was very pleased with Wild about Smiles. Im leaving it up to him whether we go back there for our regular cleanings or if he wants to go back to our regular place!
