Today is Father's Day in Australia so logic would say this would be a post of how we spent the day as a family, enjoying each others company and relaxing. Unfortunately that isn't how the day panned out. Instead I spent all day at work and the rest of the family had an 'interesting' day that included a trip to the dental hospital.
Yesterday AJ had an ulcer in his mouth hat was uncomfortable but he woke today and was in a considerable amount of pain and he couldn't close his mouth properly. It turns out that he had an infection in his tooth so he had it extracted.

I have to say that I am glad that I wasn't there. I am so proud of him for not freaking out, and despite the considerable pain, he isn't afraid of the dentist!
Yes, a gruesome way to spend a Sunday, be thankful that I didn't post the video!
Oh ouch! AJ was very brave. I hope he's feeling better.
ReplyDeleteThanks, he is feeling much better and is sound asleep.
DeleteWow, it was just brave to get those shots let alone be in the chair. I hope all is well with him.
ReplyDeleteI must admit that I was thankful that I was working instead of being at the dentist, just watching the video made me feel ill!
DeleteGlad the pain is gone. Take good care of the rest of the teath or the next pictures will be false ones.
ReplyDeleteHe was allowed to bring the tooth home, it is a great reminder for him and his sister of the importance of dental care.
Deleteautch, I know, just visited my dentist last week...
ReplyDeleteHave a good week ahead!
I'm totally freaking out!
ReplyDeleteGlad it's all now behind him.

I have very few irrrational fears, but the dentist's chair is one of them. Good pictures, though.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! What a big guy -- I have had dental surgery (more than once!) so I feel the pain. Hope you guys have a second chance to celebrate father's day/

Yikes! Hopefully he feels better now that its out and you can have a proper celebration.
ReplyDeleteOmggggggggggggggg,
ReplyDeleteI feel that!!! Ouchhhhhhhhhh
I fear pain from the dentist, so I asked him to put me to sleep for a filling and he just laughed! Brave kid!
ReplyDeleteOuch! There's something terrifying about going to the dentist! Is he okay now? What a courageous guy!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for the kind words. He is much better having had a day off school resting yesterday and eating nothing but bananas, yoghurt and icecream for 2 days. He is back eating real food now, running about and being himself again.
ReplyDeleteI hope the photos didn't cause too much pain for all the dental-phobes out there. x
It is always good to let dads prove that they are noble, by handling the tough stuff! ;) Lucky for you! Glad AJ is feeling much better.
ReplyDeleteJust heard about your tooth A.J. uou poor thing I hope it did not hurt too much. Hugs and kisses xxxxx
ReplyDeleteAJ you are one tough, awsome, couragous boy to sit there with a smile on your face. We are so proud of you. Love you XXXX
