Kohl's Dentist Apt.

Yesterday we had the first of two major dentist appointments for Kohl. For some reason this kid didn't get a good set of teeth, and it probably doesn't help that he does not brush them like he should. For example, that tooth brush that plays music so the kids know how long they are supposed to be brushing. Yeah, well we have all caught Kohl Dancing, instead of brushing! Let's just say he had a lot of cavities. Yesterday we were going in the get four of them filled and sealed. At the initial visit when he had his teeth cleaned, they boy could not sit still. So they had planned on giving him "laughing gas" to calm him down. All week long the only thing he could talk about was "the shot!" For the record.. He doesn't even know he had a shot! That laughing gas really worked. He only had one melt down, and they is because he felt weird and didn't like not being able to feel his tongue. Wes was rained out from work yesterday so he was able to go. The room was small so they asked that only one parent stay and Kohl wanted his dad. At least I was still able to watch. This is a kid/parent friendly office so they room they had him in had a window where I could see everything. The window is why the pictures aren't that great. Overall Kohl did wonderful. Who likes the dentist? I know I sure don't. I wish they had laughing gas for when I went, then maybe I would go when I was supposed to! I forgot to get an after picture, but I will try next time, since we have to go back in two weeks for the other side of his mouth.

This is when they put the "magic mask" on his face

The rest were taken from outside the room thru the window.

He would not let go of Wes' hand

These last two were when he had his melt down. Once I went in there and talked to him, things were great and he finished like a champ.
