DD has to have oral surgery! Update.....

[MickeyMomOfThree]

Last year my DD (6 at the time) had to have 3 baby teeth pulled because the adult teeth were in and they were just barely loose. She cried on the way there but as soon as they gave her the laughing gas she was fine. It took almost no time and when we left she asked if she could go to school (afternnon kindergarten about an hour or so later.) The dentist said sure so she did. We went home, she had a bowl of soup and got on the bus with no problems. I sent the teacher an e-mail saying to call me if she had any troubles and she sent me an e-mail and said if i hadn't told her she would not have known, she was perfectly fine. Her teeth still had very deep roots that had not unattached themselves and still, she was fine.

I know it's scary, but if I had to have her do it again, I know neither one of us would be worried about it...

Update - Thanks to everyone for their encouragement Sorry it took so long

Unfortunately, DD's appointment did not go as well as I had hoped. She freaked out!! I remained calm the entire time, not sure how but I did, and she was fine until he tried to start working on her. She even let him numb her up I'm guessing maybe it was the sounds. They tried sooo hard to reassure her and calm her down but ultimatley ended up having to put her in the pedi-wrap. She ended up needing crowns instead of fillings and he managed to do the 2 top molars until she broke free of the pedi-wrap
She has to go back this Thursday to hopefully finish up, aside from the appliance of course. She seems a little more calm about it now that she knows exactly what to expect but she is still very nervous.

Wish us luck
