Chloe's trip to the dentist

It went ALOT better then I thought it would. She is usually a drama queen, but today, she took everything in stride. I am so proud of her. We went in and got her "kiddy cocktail" - in short, it was really Demerol! lol. She had no clue. We went in and she got to lay in a chair and watch High School Musical which she thought was super cool! But, aside from that, you could tell that she was scared and trying to be really brave. I sat by her side the whole time and held her hand.
She got some nitrous and the whole time she was in and out of what was going on. I can't tell you how extreemly proud I am of her. The dentist was AMAZING! She kept on telling Chloe how good she was doing and how she was giving her "Hannah Montana" teeth.
I took pictures so that she could see them afterwards.

She's pretty much back to normal now. She's glad that she got it done because her tooth doesn't hurt anymore (did I mention she had to get a partial root canal?) I wanted to come back and add on about her root canal and cavities. We talked to teh dentist quite a bit about why she had them. We don't give them candy that often but she does have a lot of juice. She said none of that was the problem, she's just got really deep crevises in her teeth that the toothbrushing just wasn't getting. There was no sign of juice rot between her teeth or any of that. It was a huge relief to know that it wasn't something that I was doing wrong with her teeth, it was just more of a genetic thing with deeper holes in her teeth. So, if you've got kids with deep crevises, get sealants on them! It will save you a butt load of money in the future. Oh and Thank heavens for Demerol!
