We knew that wasn't going to be any fun but then we also found out that she needed to have three teeth pulled, two teeth shaved (to make more room for the permanent teeth), and one tooth sealed.
This momma was not prepared for that! Our last dental visit landed us at the surgery center at Wake Med with Camp and back in the procedure room at the dentist office with Emma Claire. What a day.
In preparation for her appointment Dr. Buddy had told me not to tell Emma Claire what was going on but tell her that one of her teeth had a little dirt on it and that he needed to clean it off.
She did great until we got into the back and they asked her to put the mask on her face. She was super nervous and started flushing and trying to hold back tears.
Her nurse was great and took her time with her until she was ready to put the mask on herself. Once she began to breathe the 'goofy gas' she was all giggles. I wish I had gotten a video because she became a giggly chatty Cathy!
Okay so time for a confession. It wasn't until I was in my 20's that I found out that when Dr. Ronnie was shaking my cheek that he was REALLY giving me a shot. What?! Who knew. I thought he was just shaking around the gel he put in my mouth. That is talent my friend.
SO, when I saw them sliding that needle around to give Emma Claire a shot I tried my best to not let my eyes get the size of quarters. That thing is huge! She did great with it but did get a bit upset when they put the clamps in her mouth and began to cry for her Daddy. I sent him a message because I knew he would not be happy with me later if he found out she cried for him and I didn't tell him. And guess who was there within 15 minutes? Her Daddy! ; )
Once Dr. Buddy was done he told her he had a magic trick and waved his hands around the room and then opened his hand where he had her two teeth (she had already lost one prior to the appt.). He said she had some wiggly teeth and they just came right out. : )
At first she didn't know what to think about it but once we told her the tooth fairy would be coming and we would go get ice cream she was great! : )
My little toothless princess!
Ice cream makes most everything better! : 0
Thankful for another successful doctors visit!
