Tyler and the dentist

Last week we had to go visit the orthodontist. He said Tyler needed to have 5 baby teeth pulled to make room for the permanent teeth to come in. So this Wednesday we took a trip to the dentist to get them pulled. I don't know if it's a good or bad thing, but the dentist decided to only pull teeth from 1 side of the mouth the 1st visit and then we need to go back for the other side next week. Well...Tyler wasn't happy about going. In fact he so didn't want to have it done that I didn't even tell him before hand where we were going only that we were going somewhere. When we pulled into the dentist office he immediately started crying. We made a deal that if he was brave then he could have a milkshake. So the dentist numbs his mouth and pulls the teeth. I thought wow...that was fast we will be out of here in less than 1/2 hour. So...we were standing at the check out counter and making an appointment to come back when all of a sudden Tyler lays his head on the counter. I said "Tyler, what are you doing?" Then he falls over...hitting his head on the edge of the counter. So now he is on the floor. When he finally came to the dental assistant helped me get him back into a room and the dentist put oxygen on him.

After Tyler was feeling a little better I took a picture and thought I had better write this down before I forget. So after another 1/2 hour we were finally out of the dentist office. Next week we have to do the same thing, but this time they will make him stay and rest for a while before allowing him to leave. Things kids have to go through to have nice teeth.
