Kids lives are full of "firsts". First step, first word, first haircut and many other pleasurable things. Jacob experienced another first yesterday - one that he will probably not be thankful for down the road. He had his first trip to the dentist. Since I myself am not very fond of the dentist office I decided to do the most I could to prepare him. After many talks and lots of reassurance that he would be fine we headed off. The appointment went great. He was very brave and obedient - opening when he was told and clamping down when he was told. They were commenting on what nice teeth he had and how clean they are. My pride was growing and growing! But, the fall always comes right?! At the very end of the appointment the dentist brings the x-rays over and declares that Jacob has a cavity!!!! My ego was immediately deflated and replaced with sympathy. Poor kid! Apparently he has inherited my teeth and not his dad's! Looks like it is going to be a long childhood at the dentist for him...

what do they do with kids cavaties? just wait until the tooth falls out?
No, he has to get it filled. :(
I hate the dentist too, and not only from personal experience, but Cody has very VERY bad teeth, we will be at the dentist ALOT too!! Hope it all goes well, his first filling was awesome he slept through it all from the gas they gave him! :) At least he didn't feel the pain right?! Good luck!
Yes, yes, the good ol' dentist. Lindsey has quite a few cavities, I don't even remember how many. We had 1-2 filled and then she has a silver crown on one molar. Alyssa just went to her first appt. and she has none! Guess Lindsey has my bad genes in that department too! But, the fillings don't really hurt at all.
