Our trip to the dentist last Sunday was also successful. Although at first, Griffin cried when the dentist used the hand tools because he said it was "owie". So the dentist ended using the drill which made it quicker to fix his molar. Now, both his lower molars are cavity free. I'm impressed at how the dentist can make Griffin agree to using the drill because at the other dentist he really refuses it. Our next appointment will be on January 21. The dentist will work on a big cavity on his canine, I hope there won't be any problems with Griffin. When this tooth is done, the rest of his cavities are not that bad anymore. I can't wait till all his teeth are done. I would be so happy. I even promised him a party when all his teeth are cavity free.
I'm really surprised at how good Griffin is taking my request of "no candy and no softdrinks". Ever since we went to the new dentist, I told him no more candies and softdrinks because these make his teeth rot. He really doesn't eat or ask for candy anymore. He did not even order softdrinks when we ate at Superbowl. He was even offered softdrinks at his lola's house and he said, "My mommy said it's bad for my teeth".
Last night he was sitting on the table and saw a bag of candies, I was shaking my head then he said,"no" and pushed the bag away. Later, he saw Willie drinking Coke, he was asked if he wanted some, he took a little sip. He asked his daddy, "Why are you drinking softdrinks, it will make his teeth rot?" His dad said, "I'm drinking it so that there won't be any softdrinks left to drink at home". Griffin said, "You don't have to drink it". Although Griffin did have a few gulps in the room because Willie brought the Coke inside. At least he knows it's bad and doesn't ask for it anymore, whereas, he used to ask for Coke first thing in the morning.
