Corey at the Dentist

This has been an ongoing battle for me over the last three years.  Corey absolutely HATES the dentist.  He had a really bad experience when he was little and since then he has been really scared to go.  He has a lot of work that needs to be done on his teeth so I had to find on that worked.  This time I tried one in Monroe.  We finally had a successful dental visit!  He was able to get his teeth cleaned, x-rayed, and he did it all very calmly.  He sat in the chair like a champ and was not scared or squirmy at all!  Just another example of how he is growing up I guess.  He still has a lot of work that needs to be done.  He has cavities in most of his teeth and will need at least four appointments to get all the work done.  I'm confident that he will be able to handle it now.  He will have a prescription for Valium for before the appointment and nitrous once he is there.  I am hoping between those two things he will be OK.  Unfortunately, being pregnant, I can't take him to those appointments.  I can't be in the room with the nitrous so Terence will have to do it.  I am sure he will be fine with Terence there but it makes me worry.  I want to be there for him.  At least I know he will be in good hands with his Daddy.
