Dental Anxiety

Our Conversation on the way to the Dentist:

Him: "I don't want to get my teeth cleaned"

Me: "Do you want stinky breath?"

Him: "Yes"

Me: "Do you want your teeth to fall out?"

Him: "if they fall out, do I still have to get them cleaned?"

Me: "You won't have any teeth to clean"

Him: "ok, then I want ALL of my teeth to fall out"

He did EXCEPTIONALLY well with the teeth x-rays, despite the terrified look on his face!

When we got into the office, I said "Hop in the chair baby!"

You can clearly see the chair he picked, acting all non-chalant watching Spongebob with the headphones.

You couldn't help but laugh at him.

We finally coaxed him down into the "correct" chair and I felt so bad. Just look at that face... it's the face of "Mom, how could you do this to me?"

... Yeah ... He freked out when the hygenist came in and at HER suggestion, I was able to happily partake in the toothpaste, water, and spit bath.

I'm Kidding... it wasn't that bad.

As you can tell from the look on his face, he is a VERY dramatic child. I don't know where on earth he gets it from.

See! HAPPY BOY! Not bad at ALL! =)

ONE final check by the Dentist (and in the chair BY HIMSELF) and we're done.

WHEW!
