Our visit to the dentist last thursday was a success. Dr. Jay, Griffin's new dentist was able to put fillings on Griffin's lower right molar. He used a technique called atraumatic restorative treatment. He was able to clean out the decay using hand tools only. He used the drill very minimally which worked very well with Griffin because he's afraid of the sound the drill makes.
I'm so happy that we tried out this dentist because he's really patient with kids and is very good at dealing with them. He was able to put Griffin at ease, thus he successfully did the fillings.
I asked Griffin that night if he liked his new dentist and he said, "Yes". I'm hoping that Griffin would continue to cooperate until all his cavities are filled. It's still a long way to go since he has a lot of cavities. We'll be returning to the dentist this Sunday for another filling. Good luck to us.
