Dentist

 I take my kids to the dentist every 6 months.  You might ask why? Well we have the insurance and because I never went until I was about 16 years old or so and almost ended up with a root canal.  So I see the importance of taking your children to the dentist when they are young.  A couple weeks ago I took both Wiggles and Monkey in for check ups.  Wiggles had a great appointment we are watching one tooth but not for a cavity one of her teeth seems to be getting crowded out by two others.  She also was recommended to have sealants done to her teeth.  Since she's lost a lot of her teeth we decided to go for it.  Her appt was easy and quick. Monkey on the other hand had two cavities and needed to have them filled.  Since they are his baby teeth and he's no where near loosing them we knew he had to go in.  So we made the appointment and we went in.  On the advice of the dentist we didn't tell Monkey what they were doing.  He originally had a rough time when we went in for his check up so all Monkey knew was he was going back.  He was a little upset this morning because he didn't get breakfast.  Tears and all, even with a promise of a milkshake there were still tears.  So we got to the dentist.   

 

Here is Monkey getting ready for his procedure. Little nervous. 

Here's Monkey after all the work was done.  He had some Laughing Gas. They took his sunglasses off to quick so I didn't get the full pic of him looking like an "astronaut" or "fighter pilot".  

Head on pic.  Happy the work is done and he's cavity free now. 

 Monkey got two prizes for being so well behaved. He didn't move or anything while they worked on him. 

Getting his "breakfast" after the appointment.  We stopped at Jamba Juice since he couldn't have dairy.  For lunch he had pizza and was back to his normal self.  He's good to go with no problems.  I'm so proud of my little patient he did amazing!
