Dentist visits- Tyler's tongue and Ella's tooth

Lots of pictures for a silly post but it was kind of a big deal for our little family.  

Ella had her baby tooth and an adult tooth in.  So she had to get the baby tooth pulled.  She also had to get sealants put on her molars that came in.  See... not tough procedures.  But the Dentist was the tough part.  Our usual dentist was booked out for a month, and me in my "lets get things done and crossed off my list" thinking, said... well we will just use the other doctor.  ARGH!  He wasn't patient or kind ... even a little tiny bit.  Poor Ella was in tears and she had the gas over her nose to help her to be calm.  She recovered quickly but doesn't ever want to have that dentist again.  







Tyler on the other hand had a "coupled" tongue.  He has never been able to stick his tounge out far.  (or nurse when he was a baby) and it wasn't just a little tiny bit attached ---it was full on stuck in their really good.  Same story.  He was brave and excited to get the procedure done. But I dont think the Dentist really knew what to do .  and it was a hot laser he was using. and he was so mean about it all.  At one point I was ready to tell him to stop talking to my children that way and get my kids and leave.  ARGH!!!  

We stopped and got ice-cream after which was ok.. but Tyler bit his tongue really hard... and really bad because it was still numb.  and after two days of pain and not being able to eat and taking motrin all the time and not wanting to talk because it hurt so bad, and me feeling terrible because I should have just waited for the good doctor... we headed back in to the dentist.  The good dentist saw us immediately and told us to be patient and wait a few more days and he would feel better.  This quick  check up visit was right during Tyler's Halloween Party ... thats how bad it was.  He was in so much pain two days later that he skipped his party to go back to the dentist.  ARGH!
