Day of firsts

Today Gracie had her first "sugar bug" removal and Isaiah had his first cleaning!
She did great and so did he. I think Isaiah was more nervous than she was.
Dr. Chip gave Gracie some silly gas to ease her tension and then put some numbing medicine on her lower gums.
A few minutes later he gave her a numbing shot and she didn't even move. She had no idea that he gave her a shot.
Afterwords, he left cheek was so numb and paralyzed. She couldn't smile or talk right for a few hours post "surgery" as she puts it.
Isaiah was tickled to get a goodie bag of toothpaste, toothbrush and his own floss, which he used up as soon as we got home making Spiderman webs!
Thanks Dr. Chip, you're awesome!!!

sugar bugs

Gracie goes to the dentist tomorrow to get 2 teeth filled due to cavities. Can you believe this?
She's only 5!!
I think I started to get them around age 10 or so. Now I have at least 1 a year.... she's got my soft teeth.
Isaiah will have his first cleaning tomorrow. He's very excited! Something tells me to be prepared to hear the word "cavity" with him too!
She will not be given a shot but will suck in a little laughy gas. I'm very anxious to see how this is going to go. I only hope it doesn't traumatize her and make her scared of the dentist for the rest of her life.
