Even cool guys go to the dentist!


Finn had his very first dentist appointment today! He was such a good little patient while he was there. All of the hygienists and the dentist kept commenting on what a perfectly behaved patient he was. He opened his mouth whenever they needed him to and never once fussed. Having Wall-e playing and me promising a cupcake if he was good may have helped his behavior some. They said that we have been doing a good job taking care of Finn's teeth (minus the extended pacifier use), but there were a couple of problems. He had two teeth that never developed properly,so he will have to have two teeth filled within the next couple of months. This means that he will have to be put under anesthesia with a pediatric anesthesiologist so the dentist can work on his teeth. He will get laughing gas from an oxygen mask and then get a shot of ketatine. It makes me nervous, but I know that we need to take care of this problem before it gets worse. I hope his experience with anesthesia is better than the one I had when I got my wisdom teeth removed. I woke up in my house to a power outage, ran screaming to my neighbors house in my pajamas,and told them someone was trying to murder me. Lets hope that was a fluke.
