We found out at the boys' last dentist appointment that Carter had a tiny cavity. Our dentist (who incidentally I want to be BFFs with--she's amazing) said we could take a "wait & see" approach, but that it would eventually need to be filled. So, we decided to get the filling while it was tiny and wouldn't take long. Carter was not thrilled, but he did great!
When we got there, the dental assistant asked Carter what movie he wanted to watch (Lego Movie) on the TV mounted on the ceiling. She set him up with headphones, a soft pillow and a little laughing gas. Davis was happily playing out in the waiting area/play room in the beginning. Before we got started with the filling part, Davis wandered back & decided he would rather watch the movie with Carter. So, he pulled up a chair and sat by his brother. The staff decided they could do better than that & made Davis a little bed on the floor. There we were, Carter chillin' on the big chair, Davis in his soft floor bed & me in the chair next to Carter, holding his hand for support. I was blown away by how smoothly the whole thing went. We absolutely LOVE our dentist! She is a mom of two little boys and just "gets it". Also, she assured us that even though Carter turns SEVEN tomorrow (crazy, right?) it is not strange that he has yet to lose a tooth. Whew! We were beginning to wonder if that Tooth Fairy was mad at us or something. We'll keep you posted!
