Today was Syd's last appointment with the endodontist. She has had to go to his office four times to take care of the teeth that came out in the dog accident. She ended up needing root canals in two of them. She was definitely nervous before her first visit. I tried to assure her that it's no worse than getting a tooth filled. The worst part is the shot to numb your mouth.
When she was given the shot, I couldn't even tell that anything was happening. She didn't flinch or anything. At each of the visits, she's been totally unfazed.
The dental hygienist told me that when they first heard about having a child as a patient (this is mainly an adult practice), they were all worried about the trouble. But she told me today that Syd's the best patient they've ever had. Her endodontist said that if he ever has kids, he wants them to be just like her.
I feel very blessed that we got to work with the fine people at this office. They really cared about Syd and her comfort and what is best for her.
