Blue fillings

Griffin finally had fillings on his molar done this afternoon. At first, he was hesitant to have his molar drilled but I whispered to him that I would buy him Bumblebee so he agreed. He has a hard time keeping his mouth open for a long time. Fortunately, the dentist was able to do all the fillings so we need not return to the dentist again to finish off the fillings. The dentist gave him a choice of blue, green or pink fillings and he chose blue because he said there was no violet.

Dentist blues again

Griffin was supposed to have fillings done on his molar last Tuesday. Unfortunately, he did not want to have his tooth drilled so we had to reschedule it for next monday. I'm really hoping that he would cooperate next Monday.

Fillings again

The filling on Griffin's front tooth came off again last April 17. The next day, I called the dentist and was told that we could come that afternoon. After Little Gym, we went straight to the dentist. At first, he didn't want to go because he wanted to go to Mc Donald's but after a while, he was already in a good mood. He was a very good boy. He did not move his tongue and kept his mouth open while the dentist placed the filling. After just half an hour or less, we were on our way to McDo. Hopefully the filling won't come off anymore.

As I promised him, we went to McDo. We ate nuggets, fries, chicken with rice and gravy. After eating, Griffin went to the playplace and played for 1.5 hours with some older boys. He was so sad when the boys left. I bought him a sundae cone and waited for my mom to come and pick us up.

Tooth filling woes

I am so sad again because the new fillings on Griffin's teeth came off again. It's expensive at P1,600 per filling. I'm also sad that Griffin has to go through the process again, and he still has other teeth which have to be fixed. I should never have given him candy when he was younger. I should also have forced him to brush his teeth even if he didn't like it. It's too late now, but at least his teeth can still be fixed through fillings. I'm thankful that he's such a cooperative boy. He's Ok with going to the dentist and having his teeth fixed. I know that he'll have many more dental visits since he has lots of dental caries aside from the existing cavities. I hope that he learns to take care of his teeth especially when his permanent teeth start coming out.

Filling Update

After 2nd and 3rd Filling


After 4th Filling


Griffin went back to the Dentist last Friday, March 28 and yesterday, April 1 to have more fillings done. He was very good and cooperative. He even willingly agreed to go to the dentist. The dentist showed me that both of his upper molars have cavities. We'll be back in 2 weeks to have his molars filled. I told him that if he's a good boy and allows me to brush his teeth after eating, I would get him another Power Ranger. So far, he allows me to brush his teeth. I just hope he'll always be this cooperative.
