And I messed up too: I forgot to prep Evan with the books and the talk about dentists and explaining everything. But I guess it doesn't matter with a rock star like my boy!
I, on the other hand, was a mess. I can't blame the coffee or concussion for this one. I can't even blame the road construction and 3 separate delays that turned the 20 minute drive to the dentist into a 55 minute trip-to-hell-and-back. I held myself together until after we left the dentist... but then I had my anxiety attack. (I could probably trace it back to a horrible dentist visit in 1998 that ruined a molar, followed by a string of negative, up-tight, disapproving, arrogant, perfectionistic dentists afterward. Oh, wait... that's all of them.)
The point here is not the fact that I need dental attention and fast. And that I refuse to go in. Unless they put me out... and I don't think there's enough nitrous oxide in the world for that. The only other option is to insult a kick-boxer. But that might make more dental issues. Hmmmm.... If I come up with another solution, I'll let you know.
The point here is that despite his mummy's deep and abiding issues, Evan is a star!

Does anyone do sedation dentistry near you? I'm always hearing about it on the radio here, it's supposed to be good for people who are deathly afraid of the dentist.
ReplyDeleteTake care of your teeth or it can lead to lots of worse health problems! Not to scare you, or anything :)
Not to worry: I floss and brush everyday... even more important because I don't want to go near dentists! =)
