First cavity

Last week, we took you to the dentist for the first time, which you were ok with, but not overly thrilled.  Of all the thee things that could bother you, the ones that actually did were: the leaning back in the chair and the bright light they shine in your mouth.  A little while back, mommy had seen a spot in the back of your mouth on your last molar (the ones you won't lose until around age 12).  I figured it was a cavity, and thankfully you had not complained of it hurting or anything.  The dentist said it was deep, but since no pain was there, we might get lucky enough for you to have just a filling instead of a stainless steel crown/cap.
We returned a few days later (Tuesday) to have the filling done.  This time, we went to a different room in the office and I'd already told you that you were going to get the funny gas and sleepy juice for your tooth.  They had you choose a "nose", which is the part of the tubing for the funny gas that goes over your actual nose.  You can choose different scents; you opted for 'bubble gum'.  You did not like the nose being put on and started to get a little upset, telling me and the hygienist that you wanted to leave and go home.  I told you to 'smell the bubble gum', but you kept trying to breathe through your mouth to avoid it.  Unfortunately, I don't think you'd had quite enough of it to really relax when it came time to do the tooth sleepy juice, so you didn't like that part, either.  Once you finally did start breathing in the funny gas, you got much more relaxed and said, "Thank you, mommy," very softly to me, twice :)
When you started to feel the tooth sleepy juice working, you informed me, "It's making a pillow in my mouth."  LOL.  So cute :)  You were still quite relaxed and did an excellent job of holding still while the dentist used her "bumpy brush" to clean the tooth and the "whistling brush" to make the tooth ready to be filled.  Since you were so good, it went very quickly.  You helped count the beeps for the 'lightsaber tool' (the blue light that cures the filling material) and after it was done, you said, "I love the dentist, mommy!"  :D You were also very excited about getting another little car as a treat at the end.  We have to return this coming Thursday for another tiny filling on the other side of your mouth, which I hope will go just as well!
