Pulpotomy

It looks like our trips to the dentist for Alex may finally be over...at least for the next six months. Alex did great today. He drank down his "very yucky" cocktail of demerol and phenergan and then sat hopped up into his seat for the "silly mask" to blow oxygen and nitrous oxide into his lungs. He did really good and opened up wider for the dentist when asked and he didn't move at all during is baby root canal. What amazed me was watching him doze in and out of consciousness during the whole thing only to watch him practically jump out of his seat when they were done. I didn't know a little nitrous could do that to you. He said the spot where they shot Novocain into his gums hurts a little bit, but his tooth is all better. Thank goodness. After watching Alex, Annie is now really excited to go to the dentist herself. I guess she is getting about big enough. Hopefully her check up will yield a mouth free of problems.
