What a NIGHTMARE!

Today Aidan was supposed to have a root canal. He complained on Halloween night that his tooth hurt so we stopped the insane intake of candy, threw out the remains and called the dentist on Monday morning.

He had an infection and a huge cavity and had to have a root canal. Today we went in to have the procedure done. Aidan was a little squirmy but complained the whole time that he was in pain! I knew there was something wrong because he really doesn't get too worked up about that kind of stuff. He's had several cavities filled already, and had no problem with those.

The dentist got halfway through the procedure and said, "I can't work on him anymore and said I need to refer him to a pediatric dentist." So I got the number and called. Luckily they got us in this afternoon. We got through the first appointment and he has 8 cavities and the dentist there wants him to go to the OR and get all of it done at once and pull the bad tooth. Aidan was a champ and said he "LOVES this dentist!" So we're going through with it! Sean and I just want him to not be scared of the dentist and also have good teeth as an adult!
