home resting after his tooth extraction
his teeny tooth in the tooth boxsigh
this am i took nate to the kids dentist to have his tooth looked at. we went last week to discover it was infected and he was given an antibiotic to clear it up. not knowing what was going to happen today, i prepped nate for everything
but not losing his tooth!
i was shocked and horrified that they decided to pull the tooth. the tooth was infected down below the gum line which would spread to the other teeth as well as make trouble for his adult teeth. so, they decided to pull er right on out
nate was great in the chair. zero fussing, complaining, crying or carrying on. he did so well that they only gave him oxygen while they froze his gum and gave him the needle. he didn't even move for that! they gave his 1 shot of the good gas when they pulled the tooth just as a back up to any freezing that was not complete. nate didn't budge. i was SO impressed. then he sat in the chair while they cleaned him up
he's at home resting now. watching tv and enjoying his mom serving and babying him to pieces
i can't believe he had his tooth pulled ohhhhhhhhhhhhh the mommy guilt! all the would have, should have, why didn't and it's all my fault.....mommy guilt at it's finest
we go back jan 30 for a check up and a peek at the other tooth that was beside the infected tooth. crossing fingers that one can be capped and not pulled! the horror of that! nate will also have a bridge thing put in to space out the teeth so his adult teeth will come in straight
sob sob my toothless baby!

Oh the Mommy Guilt....if there is one thing I wish would be eradicated from my thinking is the "mommy guilt"!
I know you know that it isn't your fault, so instead of preaching to the choir, I'll say a prayer for Nate that there will be no more issues between now and his adult teeth.
On the positive note, a great excuse for some extra cuddles!
Oh my! I didn't see that happening!
The poor guy, I would like to say that Quinn handles his dentist treatment with the same quiet calm, but well, that's not what happened.
We will pray that he doesn't have to have any more pulled.
As moms we take up on us to much guilt. So my addwise, spoil him a little bit , love him and it will work good for both of you! Love you too. Muetti
