We had a dental adventure on Friday. Connor is my super gaggy kid. He had a couple cavities and when our regular dentist tried to fix them Connor gagged so much that they couldn't do it. The dentist thought it would be best for us to take him to be sedated so that we could keep our dental office a positive place.
So on Thursday afternoon Connor, Callie, Ty, and I went to Cedar City. We did some shopping and ate Panda. Yum! Connor had a fun evening and was super excited to sleep in hotel. He has had a super wiggly front tooth for a few weeks now and we kept telling him he needed to pull it out or the dentist would. He finally let me pull it out Thursday night. He looks absolutely adorable and the tooth fairy found him!
Connor couldn't eat or drink anything after midnight. We got up Friday morning and headed over to the dentist, his appointment was 8am. We went to Cedar View Pediatric Dentist office and it was decorated so cute and child friendly. They weighted him and then they took him back to see the dentist for a little check up. Then he came out and drank some medicine to help him sleep. He started feeling sleepy after about 10 minutes. The nurse came out and picked him up and he hugged her and had this huge cheesy grin on his face! It was funny.
He was probably back there about 25 minutes and they came and said we could come back. The dentist said that he slept through the whole thing. He also said that he is one of the gaggiest kids he has ever seen. He was even gagging in his sleep. They ended up filling 2 cavities and putting a cap on one. When we walked in he was just starting to wake up. He was super groggy and was kind of crying. I picked him up and started carrying him out and he threw up on my shoulder.
Then we walked out to the car. He was crying the whole way and was saying monster, monster. It was so sad. It made me feel so bad. Then we buckled him in and he told Tyson that he was the king of the monsters. Then we started driving and he was still pretty out of him. He was telling me that he was the king of the penguins and that he was the king of the giraffes. He mentioned being king of the penguins several times. It was so dang hilarious. Then he was flapping his arms and saying he was a flappy bird. Ty and I were laughing so had. I recorded him on my phone but the dang thing didn't work. I was so mad.
Then he was obsessed with his hands. He kept saying he had 84 fingers and he would just study his hands. He told me I had 4 eyes and 2 phones. It was so funny so see him so out of it. When he stared coming more out of it we asked him what he remembered and it was nothing!
I am glad he was able to have a positive dental experience but it cost way to much money. His brushing habits are making a major change! He has sure been gung ho about it though.
We had a fun night with him though and a hilarious morning!
