ds had his dentist appt this morning. The tooth is bad (dentist doesn't want to do root canal on ds and neither do I)and he is going to loose it but the dentist was awesome! He was so good with ds and patient with me. I went in feeling panicked and left not feeling panicked. Ds can't wait for the tooth to come out......the tooth fairy will come then he said! And the tooth our other dentist wasn't going to do anything about this one is going to go ahead and fill it to stop it from getting any worse. So week after next ds will have the one tooth taken out and 2 small cavities filled. I am so relieved to have hopefully found a dentist that won't yell or have me so nervous I can't talk to him. Then we went and spent the afternoon with some friends at their pool. The kids loved that because even though we have a small pool its above ground....nothing quite like an inground one. And I got some pool floats and toys off freecycle this afternoon that they are just having a blast with! So a day I was dreading turned out to be not bad after all. Oh and homemade pizza for supper that I have been craving for days!

I'm glad your day with the dentist was not as stressful for you as you worried it might be. Sounds like you found a kid friendly dentist who understands. Good for you.

Glad that you day turned out "ok"

yes and the really sad part is before we were going to a pediatric dentist! This one is just general dentistry.

Yeah for both your son and you! It's important for our children to build a relationship of trust with their dentist because without it they will not go. My son had a bad experience at 12 and refused to go back to any dentist because he was so afraid of pain. Not at 30 he is looking at false teeth. He is one of many who felt that if he ignored the problem tooth it would get better on its own.

Glad you found a dentist you like and can trust :thumbup:

Sounds like after that the day was smooth sailing :lol:

I'm happy the dentist appt. went ok, thanks for letting us know

happy you made it ok and that your Ds is ok too. I hate the dentist.

It is wonderful that you found such a kind dentist :D:D:D Maybe your anxieties over the white coats will lessen now :D:D:D

I'm so glad it worked out for you. It sounds like the rest of the day was a blast.
