Anthony showed me a HUGE hole in one of his molars so I called Dr. Crow's office and asked when he could come in so we went last Thursday....

Here he is before we started..He was excited because he got to listen to his CD!!!

Here he is getting his floride and got shown how to floss...

Here he is getting numbed and we of course had to wait awhile for his mouth to sleep. That part was fine and he was doing so good. Until, I could feel something wrong with him. I was sitting close by but I could tell something was not ok. His hand flinched and I stood up and told the Dr. to hld on a second. I looked and Anthony and he was stiff as a board. I asked him if he was ok and he shook his head no and sat up and grabbed me.
Poor Anthony felt the pressure and thought it was real pain that he was feeling and it scared the HooHaa out of him. There was no way to calm him down I tried talking with him and holding him and telling that everything was ok and that I had already gone through it. Even the Dr. tried talking to him that was not gonna happen.
So Dr. Crow put a temp. fix on it until tomorrow where Anthony and I go back again so she can finish and I think that Anthony will be ok this time because he know what to expect. I felt so bad for him for being only 7 and having to go through what they call a "Baby root canal"
He told me last night that he is ready and that he will be a "big boy" and get it done!!
What a trooper he can be!!! I will let you know how he does tomorrow when we get home...Appt. is at 11 am our time

This is what he made before we went into the back to get started.....

He was very proud of himself and wanted to show Granny!!!!
There you go Granny now you can see what he made for you!!
Tell him I said that its ok and that he will be fine....

Have you noticed that children can tolerate the dentist better than adults. Maybe it's just me, but the dentist we go to has the music with the head phones. I can't stand the sound of a drill.
Have a good eve.

Better than his Momma!!!
I hate going to the dentist! I have to go in and have some teeth pulled and get a partial plate on top.
