Payton had a big day last week. She went to the dentist to have her "new" tooth put in. I explained to her that it was going to be an adventure....and it was. I could tell that she was a bit nervous. We went in and Deserai (her hygenist) was prepping her for the dentist. Well....she was able to have nitrous oxide to relax her. They pulled out what looked like a pig nose and before she put it on....looked at me and said that she was scared. I had to do some quick thinking! I asked her if I have ever lied to her....then I reminded her when we went to the doctor when she had to get shots. I told her then that it was going to hurt but just for a minute. I told her that this was not going to hurt. Then I asked the question.....Do you trust me? She nodded her cute little head with big alligator tears in her eyes. OHHHH....heartbreaking moment. Then....Deserai put numbing "jelly" in her mouth. Then came the dentist. He came in with a mask on and I wasn't sure what his name was. He was dressed in green scrubs so I told Payton that he was Kermit and that she was Miss Piggy and that he was going to get all the sugar bugs out of her teeth. Meanwhile....he gently gave her shots in the mouth. To this hour...she still doesn't know that she had shots....she ended up with 3 because she could feel something during the whole process. We love Kermit now! She can't wait to go back! I really need to find out the dentists name!!
P.S. The dentists real name is Dr. Elkins....a far cry from Kermit!!!
