See that cute little perfect smile?
Yeah, there’s a cavity back there. (WHICH I am totally mortified about, but that’s beside the point.)
So, my sweet, sensitive boy – you know, the one who’s afraid of his own shadow? – is gonna have a DRILL up in there on Wednesday!
I am fairly sure I am going to have to hold him down for this to happen.
I myself have never had a cavity {cue twinkle as I grin} so I really don’t know how to prepare him. I want to tell him what’s going to happen, without scaring the bajeebers out of him. It’s bad enough how he fusses about the noise his battery-powered toothbrush makes (related: is there like a boot camp for 2nd graders where you can send them to toughen up?), I don’t think he’s going to *sit stoically still* for a drill.
Anyone been through this lately? I sure could use a play-by-play of what to expect so I can explain it to him in terms he can bear! Insert advice below! (Pleeeease help a mother out!)
