Poor Isaac

Isaac had his first set of dental work done today. He had half his mouth done. Four fillings, two caps, a root canal and a panoramic xray to check out his permanant teeth that don't have room to come in.

They said he hated the numbing stuff at first, but other than that he did great. He said he cried because the pinching hurt (holding his cheek back so they could get to his teeth). He came out smiling, excited and proud that he got a dollar off coupon to McDonalds. Oh the little things in life!!

I explained that he would have some of the same work done at the end of the month to the other side of his mouth. No root canal or xray, but fillings and caps. He said okay and started playing with his balloon. What a trooper!

I am glad he is okay with it - this is just the beginning. He will need lots of work over the years because of the teeth coming in damaged. I hope he stays this calm with it all.
