CJ's First Trip to the Dentist

We we all excited for CJ's first time to the dentist. We found this great kid friendly place with an indoor play place and movie area, and when you go to each room when being seen you are given coins to redeem for a prize at the end, sort of like a cross between Chuckie Cheese's and the Dentist.

 
We went in with high hopes and lots of confidence of clean teeth, and then found out that CJ's teeth had a lot of plaque and needed a crown and a cavity filled. Yikes! But CJ was brave and we had the work done that day.


Since then I have wondered if the work was justified, but I saw the yellow tooth before it was caped, and the dentists were very thorough and explained everything. Still, it was quite traumatic, mostly for CJ but for me too.

But he's proud of his silver tooth and loves to pretend that he's Daddy because they both have silver in their mouths.
