I took kale to the dentist yesterday to try and get some cavities filled. It did not go well. Right now my teeth hurt just thinking about it. Everything was fine, the gas seemed to be calming him down, then the drill hit his teeth, you know the sound and the feeling. He raised his hand to let them know he was in pain. The dentist tried one more time, with me holding him. This time Kale raised both his hands and his whole body tensed up like he was in convulsions. He tried not to cry, but you could see he was in great pain. The dentist stopped and gave us a few options.
1. Take him to GF and they can put him under
2. Bring him back in a few months to see if he can handle it better
Option 2 is out the window. He never wants to see another dentist again. I don't blame him, the most painful experiences of my life were getting cavities filled at the dentist. The gas never worked for me. At about 12 years old I experienced novacaine for the first time, what a miracle! I never used gas again. Not sure what we will do, but at 4 1/2 years old, Kale already hates the dentist.
