Dentist visit

Well, we found out in November that Camden had a pretty bad cavitity. Unfortunately, no matter how well we had brushed and flossed, it still happened (teeth problems are heredity, did you know that)? Luckily, Russell’s sister Melisa works at a pediatric dental clinic and helped us out. We made the trip to her office today to get the "cavity bugs" out.

Grandma made the trip with us (thank goodness, cause teeth make me nervous).

This is Aunt Melisa giving Camden his pep talk!

Checking to make sure his pulse & blood pressure were ok. He liked seeing the monitor show the results.

Look at my cute, brave boy!!!

Since the cavity was so deep, they gave him laughing gas (which is why they had to take his BP & pulse). He didn't mind this and was such a brave boy!! It was sort of funny hearing the things he would say though (like "I look like a clown"). He did not like their friend Mr. Bumpy though!!

After all this, they determined that the cavity had reached the nerve. So, the best way to fix this is to have him go to OR and put to sleep (this will happen in May, probably). It's far less traumatic for him and they can fix his tooth a lot easier. It is probably going to be way worse on me!!
