For the last couple of days, Alex has been complaining about his tooth hurting. Last night he kept his daddy awake crying about it, so this morning we took him in to get it looked at. Turns out he is going to need a root canal. Root Canal! He's only four! He goes back to the dentist next week so we're going to keep him drugged with Motrin until then.
As usual, the dentist gave Alex a toothbrush and toothpaste as we were leaving. We use electric toothbrushes at our house so our conversation made me laugh.
Alex: Mommy, there's something wrong with this toothbrush.
Mommy: What's wrong?
Alex: I keep pushing the button here, but it's not working.
Mommy: That's not a button, it's a place to put your thumb while you brush.
Alex: How does it work then?
Mommy: Alex(exasperated), you have to move the brush back and forth to make it work. It's a manual toothbrush.
