Dentist Visit

Lil Isaac complained of pains at times while eating. I thought I saw a black spot on one of the upper molars but wasn't sure. I also couldn't tell if he really had a toothache or faking one to avoid eating more. I used to pull that trick when I was little. Lol. Nevertheless, we arranged for a visit to the dentist. When was our last visit? It should have been at least a few months.

Lil Isaac is not at all afraid of the dentist, so unlike me. He marched into the clinic and was happily helping himself to a drink at the water dispenser machine. When his name was called, he ran into the room happily and climbed onto the dentist chair enthusiastically. He even chose a movie that he would like to watch while treatment!

We last visited the dentist about 6 months back. The dentist checked and announced that Lil Isaac has 2 cavities, excluding the one on upper his front teeth. Additionally, he has 2 more that would potentially turned into cavities on his molars if not well taken care of. Zzzzzz. 2 cavities in 6 months.

The dentist mended the 2 cavities. The one on his front teeth would be left as it is as they are usually the 1st few teeth to fall. In fact, one of them is already shaky, probably part natural and part aided by his constant bumping. The dentist also cleaned his teeth.
He handled the visit so well. He was more focus on the movie and was even laughing at times. At the end of the visit, he received his sticker for being so brave. Mummy ended up freaking $245 poorer. I couldn't be more glad that Lil Shauna can now visit the school dentist and help us save some money. Lol. Let's hope Lil Isaac could hold on to the next visit beyond 6 months. I must be more diligent to help him brush teeth.

Wow he was a strong and brave boy to have sat through all of that with patients. My son has his fathers gene pool and is very stubborn when it comes to going to the dentist, glad you are blessed with a patient boy, he seems so loving and caring. Thank you for sharing this special day with us, thanks.

Sorry to hear that he had to get 2 cavities filled. I know the dentist can be difficult at times. The bill is always a downer part of the visit. Glad you have the school dentist option. Wish I had that for my son. The school we attend does not provide it. Great experience with the dentist, keep brushing, thanks.
