Scary Dentist

Last week Amir and I went to the dentist. The first visit was just for me but my dentist recommended that I bring Amir along since he was in need of a check up. When we got to my dentist appointment he was totally fine until he saw what the dentist was doing to my teeth. He got scared and didn't let him look at his teeth. Since my dentist isn't a peds dentist he said I should go to one because they are better equipped to handle a child such as mine.

Later in the week we went to Amir's new peds dentist. He was horrified even though I told him he was the nice dentist. (HA!) We ended up sort of holding him down while the dentist checked his teeth.
I knew that Amir had at least two cavities... But the dentist found FOUR! AH! Four cavities!?! They need to be fixed so our choices were to go up to Primary Children's Surgical Center or have him sedated with an IV in office. The price difference is $3,500 - $350.... Needless to say, we are going with the IV sedation... His appointment is in August.. There must be a lot of kids who need to be put out because that was their first opening!

I'm not looking forward to getting him put out but I am looking forward to nice looking teeth again.
