1st Dentist Visits!

Carter & Tenley both went to the dentist for the first time, Tenley had been complaining about a tooth ache so we figured it was time to take them both in... Tenley went on Aug. 21st. She asked a lot of questions before going, but she was never nervous at all, we left Carter out at Brandon's with the kids...

getting her x-rays done
Two days later on Aug. 23rd she had to go get her cavaties fixed. Where she is only 3 & had 4 cavaties, the dentist preferred she be put to sleep. I was a little nervous about it at first, but after talking to a few dentists we decided it was the best decision!
hyper little girl at 7 in the morning!
waiting for the doctor & dentist- when the anesthetics guy came in. He asked Tenley if she wanted to walk or for him to carry her. & she said "you carry me" & went right with him!
happy as could be!
Everything went great as planned, but she did wake up super cranky from the anesthetics - which we were prepared for. After about an hour of her snapping out of it, we were off & our cute little crazy girl was back to normal after daddy bought her a hello kitty purse & some lip gloss! Glad her teeth are fixed!
Aug. 29th -Carter had one of his back teeth chip off about 3 months ago, but hadn't complained about it since. {we figured he would have cavaties, seeing how he is 5 & its his first time at the dentist} He was much more nervous than Tenley was, which was our fault for taking him with to her anesthetics appointment-big mistake! But I told him what to expect...

Watching cartoons!
Edeza cleaned his teeth, so I got to sit & chat with her! Right after we left the dentist he said "I want to go back". He loved everything about it. He had 8 cavaties & so we decided to get him put to sleep to instead of making 4 different trips back to the dentist office. So on October 4th he had his big appointment. We got there at 10:30 , he was supposed to go back around 11. We ended up waiting til almost 2 o'clock before he actually went back. He was so nervous, tired, hungry. Everything. We weren't happy about having to wait at all. But we went & burned some time & made the best of it.
when we first got there & didn't know we had a wait!
ready to go!
Burning time in the gift shop! {Jazz, Bulls, Packers/ huge giraffe}
Coloring with dad. You can tell hes about had it!!!
When they came to get him, finally. He had heard other kids coming back from the anestetics crying. so he was nervous. The nurse did a great job at comforting him {once they pried him off me}...
When he was all done, he was actually asleep {napping} so he woke up from his medicine a lot better than Tenley, he woke up & was ready to leave & go play at grandmas. He had found a Power Ranger toy at TJ max he wanted, so I went & grabbed that for him so he could have a surprise once he was done! (Justin & I had planned on going to the USU football game, thinking we would have a few hours in between, we still went to the game. But I felt bad ditching him to grandma RIGHT after) So glad to have all this over with. I'm hoping when they go back in March=0 cavaties, keep your fingers crossed :)!
