Brock's 1st & 2nd visits to the dentist

Brock had is very 1st check up at the dentist a couple weeks ago and he did awesome! I was afraid he'd be scared or not cooperate since it was such a new experience! He totally surpassed my expectations!

He was such a big boy and did exactly what the hygienist asked, and it probably didnt hurt that she is very pretty! :)

Here are a few pictures from his 1st visit

All clean! He was so proud of his newly cleaned teeth!!

We had to make another trip back to the dentist the next week :(  He had a cavity that needed to be filled.

The doctor decided not to give a shot for fear it would traumatize him more than just putting the filling in. I was so worried because I HATE the dentist! I always have and it hasn't changed since I've become an adult! I still get the butterflies and squeeze my hands together so tight that my knuckles turn white every time I go, even for a cleaning! 

Danielle LOVES the dentist, but I swear its cause they gave her the gas every time she went! (I'd probably like it too if I had been given the gas when I was little!) 

Anyways, back to Brock! They numbed his gums with a topical cream and once he was numb, they got to work! I was sitting with my hands gripped together with sweat pouring out cause I was so afraid that at any minute, he would feel pain from all the drilling! But, much to my surprise, he never flinched! He was such a brave big boy! I was so proud of him! 

And he loved it cause all the ladies there thought he was so sweet! Which I will say, he was on his BEST manners that day and was so polite to everyone there! 

Here are the pictures from that visit!

Waiting to get started

All smiles! 

I am so happy that I have not given my fear of the dentist to Brock, and I plan to keep it that way!!!
