Samantha is one step closer to getting braces after getting a tooth pulled on Monday! Her appointment was at 9:30 so she just got to stay home that morning and enjoy a Starbucks treat before her appointment!
She was VERY nervous about it all, mostly about the shot she was going to have to get in her gum. She got the laughing gas and pretty soon didn’t seem so nervous at all.
Dr. Thomas is so sneaky, Samantha didn’t even know when she got the shot! She was so relieved when I told her the shot was already over!
She handled it all like a champ. The worst part was when she finally set up and didn’t know what to think about her numb lip! She’s never had a numb lip before and kept saying it felt like there was a grape in her lip! ha!!
She was back to school in time for lunch and happy to flash her new grin the next day! That $10 special from the tooth fairy made her smile too!
Love my brave girl. Now it’s almost time for braces!
She is a champ!
Way to go Samantha; I’m proud of our patient!
I know that the new braces will make her even prettier!
