A Fun Tooth Pull

As I mentioned in my last post, Luke is in the middle of a month of dental and orthodontic visits leading up to Christmas.  Today was the tooth pull at the dentist.  His remaining lower canine needed to come out prior to getting his braces next week.

Brent and I both came to the early morning appointment and I hung in the waiting room with Nora while Brent went to the exam room with Luke.  We exchanged the following texts during the 45 minute procedure:

7:17 a.m. from Brent:

Getting ready

7:24 a.m. from Jen:

And, in the waiting room...

Luke and the dental team did GREAT!  He said he didn't feel the novocaine shot (after the laughing gas and numbing gel) and didn't complain about any pain all day.  He had a cheese burger, fries, and shake for lunch and Jimmy John's sandwich and chips for dinner. Thank you Family Dentist Tree!  Brent said they had great terminology to explain to Luke what they were doing and made it a very pleasurable experience.  

Nora also did great hanging in the waiting room. They had her three favorite things: puzzles, books, and Christmas music playing. She easily kept herself busy and, as you can tell from the picture, made herself right at home:)

Now, on to braces next week...
