Korbyns dentist appointment.

When we all went to the dentist in Feb. Korbyn was finally still enough for the dentists to get good x-rays and look at his teeth. I pretty much knew he had at-least 2 cavities in the back because he would cry when we brushed his back teeth and  his pediatrician said she thought she saw at least one during his 4 year check up. What i wasn't prepared for was the fact that he had 8 cavities one in each molar and that 2 of them were root canals!! She Said that all though she does root canals on kids often that she would fell more comfortable referring us to a pediatric dentist who could do it all at once and put him under for ease of trauma. I called the referred dentist they got us in the same day and i really liked the office and staff. Until i saw the quote!! It was over $700!! i asked if we could use our medical insurance to or instead and she said that because he is under 5 he could do it at primary children's  and it could be cheaper depending our insurance plan etc. their quote was Over $800! we called the dental insurance and they basically didn't cover anything he needed done. Travis and i talked it over and decided to do it at the dentist  When i called them back they booked us for June 18th. they called the day before with a 7am check in which was nice because he couldn't eat anything after midnight since he was going under i had to wake him up to put him in the car to go which was good because he didn't ask to eat. I was a big ball of nerves because this was the first time any of my kids had gone under for anything. They were very good about explaining everything to me and keeping me and him calm.

Watching a movie waiting for the doc to come in. They let me hold him while the medicine started working and then sent me out my car to nervously wait since the virus makes it hard for people to sit in waiting rooms.

It was the longest 45 min of my life but they said he did great! He did have a hard time Waking up but they said it was normal for kids his age to do that. Since he was still pretty out of it they had me lay the front seat all the way down and  prop up his neck to keep his airways open. He was pretty out of it and i got funny videos of him. i'm just glad its over with and he isn't in pain any more.

He thinks his caps from the root canals he got are pretty awesome and he shows everyone!!
