The dentist

Trey had to get 4 teeth pulled on Friday. He did an amazing job!

We got to the dentist at 8am and Trey took his sedation medication. The dentist told us to take a seat and she would be with us in about an hour, so the medicine could take effect. She said that it would literally just "hit" him. Sure enough, in about 45 min...he just couldn't hold his head up anymore. I carried him to the back and she began the extractions.....

First off, his dentist is a mom that I used to nanny for... Mary Fuselier. She has 5 year old triplet girls plus another girl that she had 3 years after the triplets. WOW, talk about a busy lady!!! Dr. Fuselier is an amazing Pediatric Dentist and I would recommend her a million times!!!

She was so gentle and sweet to Trey! He had the sedation medicine, plus the gas he was breathing, plus he was able to watch a movie through these sunglasses things.... He was SET!

The reason for all of this is OVERCROWDING! There is just not enough room in his mouth for all of his permanent teeth. The 4 teeth that he had pulled were his "i teeth" or "fang teeth". You naturally loose those teeth around age 12, but we simply couldn't wait that long, they needed to come out now to give him the space he needed.

Here he is when we got home. Still completely out of it and resting like a baby!

Here's a pic of the bottom teeth! Ewwww.....

...And here's a pic of the top teeth! Ewwww.....

Everything went perfect! He got home and couldn't wait to put the 4 teeth under his pillow... The tooth fairy gave him a $10.00 bill!!! Holy Cow! She must have known how brave he was during his visit to the dentist! He has now lost a total of 12 teeth!!!! Way to go TREY!
