So Cameron had to have some small cavities filled. I think it was more traumatic for Mom than Cameron. I had a lot of problems/concerns with the office we went to and how UN-friendly there were towards families and kids. Even though we saw a pediatric dentist she just borrowed the facility. And of course it is a chain dentist so do they really care?Any way, since we did the fillings we also paid the extra to get sealants done on his molar teeth as well to try to minimalize future problems. They used gas and some pain meds to get things done. He was cute and such a big boy. He didn't really want to wear the sunglasses, but after some coaxing he agreed. And the thing that kept his mouth open he really didn't like.
The dentist kept trying to talk to him and of course he wanted to answer her, but couldn't. She finally realized he was a child who wanted to talk back to her so she should stop asking him questions.
He got a popsicle to eat but of course by the time we got to the car it had melted in the almost 100 degree weather. Cameron couldn't really feel his lips in order to eat it, poor thing. After we, yes we, ate the popsicles I gave him the popsicle stick to chew on in hopes his lips would "wake" up before he started chewing on them because he couldn't feel them.Unfortunately, that wasn't quite the case. We went over to our friend Christy's house to pick up Braydon. Cameron was feeling good and playing. The next think I know he comes downstairs when we got ready to leave and had blood running down his chin...from chewing on his lips.
The next day they looked like this. Poor baby. Next time, if there is a next time, for dental work I know to give him something to chew on and make his continue to chew on it for at least the rest of the day so he doesn't look like this again.Lesson learned. :(
