The Dentist

So I took the kids in for their 6 month check-up and boy was I surprised. Nikolus had 2 cavities, which isn't bad for him but Jaydyn had 8!! How do they get that many?? Granted it's a battle to get him to brush and floss but sheesh.

I took him in yesterday for his first set of appointments and it didn't go so well. We are lucky they didn't kick us out. The first time he had a cavity filled they put him to sleep for it and the last time they gave me a prescription that made him groggy and he fell asleep during the work. This time they didn't, I'm assuming since he is older they figured he wouldn't need it but needless to say he does. They ended up re-scheduling our appointment so that they can do the IV sedation for him and do all the work at once. We go in tomorrow for that. Wish us luck!

I guess Jaydyn takes after me with the dentist. Most of you know that I hate the dentist but the last time I went in I had a panic attack and it didn't go so well, and that was only the cleaning being done. I was told I needed my wisdom teeth out but I remember what Jill looked like and how she felt and I've been putting it off. My luck it will only be worse than what I'm imagining!

I HATE going to the dentist!!!
Good luck! I remember when Brian was two they tied him to a board and made me leave the room. It was sooooo sad. I'm glad they can give him an IV!
Love, Jodi

Hey!! I didn't look that bad did I? Can you say chipmunk! I looked way worse than it felt, so I think you should go for it! Good luck with that.

Yeah I'm planning to go in and have it done, just not sure when yet. Once both the kids are done I'll get mine done.
