Yesterday Ross had two cavities filled at the dentist. I was more worried than he was, no surprise. He did great and so did Dr. Maitre. If you don't have a dentist, I highly recommend him. He is really, really great with kids.
They put Ross in the chair and numbed him up with gel. Then Dr. Maitre swooped in, had Ross lean back and close his eyes and pulled out a huge syringe with a very long needle. Dr. Maitre shot Ross up with pain killer before Ross even knew what was happening, I don't think Ross ever saw the needle at all. The man has good technique.
After 15 minutes for the drugs to kick in, the drilling began. It only took about 5 minutes per tooth and you can't even see the fillings unless you really look for them. Ross was so good. He never complained or moved a muscle.
When it was all over Ross walked away with gloves, a mask, two toys and a bunch of photos for our blog. I have never seen fillings put it. It was very interesting to watch.
Two big thumbs up and four big gold stars for Dr. Maitre and his staff!
P.S. A big thank you to Andrea, Ariel and Cecily for watching Owen while Ross and I were at the dentist, Thank You!

What a fun family outing! I'm impressed with Ross at the dentists. I even get butterflies in my stomach about going to the dr. or dentist. He is definitely braver than me!
