I REALLY don't like the dentist!!

Last night mom told me that I have a dentist appointment tomorrow and that I couldn't eat anything until I go to it. I got up really early and mom let me have a little bit of sprite and a piece of toast though. I guess it is because my appointment was really late in the day. I went to school and that was good because it kept my mind off of my appointment for the most part. But when mom came to pick me up I started getting really nervous. Plus, I could smell the food cooking in the school cafeteria and it made me REALLY REALLY hungry!

I was kind of mean to mom on the way there. Mom kept telling me that she wasn't quite sure what all they were going to do to me today. I think she was trying to keep me from getting too upset about it. When we got there, it wasn't the same dentist office that we normally go to. Mom said it was called a surgical center. That made me REALLY scared. I started to cry a little bit. We checked in and had to sit in a waiting room. I got to watch cartoons while we waited. Then we went back and a nurse weighed me and checked me out. Then the guy who was going to put me to sleep came and talked to me.
He tried to make me feel better but I was still scared. Finally my dentist came in and talked to me. He made me laugh a few times. He is a really nice guy. Pretty soon they put me on a bed and wheeled me away. My mom had to go out and wait in the waiting area. I was so scared but I tried really hard to be brave. The dentist told my mom that I was really brave after she left. They had me get onto a different table and then they put a mask on my face. The dentist told me to count to 10 and I only got to 3. Then I fell asleep. The surgery only took 45 minutes.
He pulled seven of my baby teeth because all of my permanent teeth were growing in behind them and weren't pushing them out. I also got a silver cap on one of my teeth because it had a few fillings in it already and the dentist was worried that if they tried to fill it again then it would break apart. I thought it was cool though. I have wanted a silver tooth for a long time!! When I woke up my mouth kind of hurt. I got to get wheeled out to my mom and sit on her lap. Pretty soon my tooth with the silver cap started hurting REALLY bad. Mom finally got the nurse to give me some medicine. They put it in my IV and right away the pain started to go away. The medicine made me feel dizzy, but since I didn't fall asleep with it, they let me get ready to leave about 20 minutes after I took it. My little brother was at my cousin's house but Tyra had been with dad, so they came and waiting with mom and I until I could leave. I got to ride out in a big wheel chair.

I got to drive it myself a little bit. That was cool! After we left we went to pick up my little brother, pick up my pain pills and then to KFC. I LOVE mashed potatoes, so mom and dad thought that would be a good thing to eat since my mouth was so sore. They were so good but I was super hungry so I still had a few potato wedges and chicken pop corns. It didn't really hurt my mouth either. Mom thinks that is because of the pain medicine. It feels really weird to have all of these wholes in my mouth. My mom made sure that the dentist gave me all of my teeth so that I can put them under my pillow tonight for the tooth fairy.
I had to take medicine again around 7:00 tonight because my mouth started hurting really bad again. I sure hope the tooth fairy brings me lots of money. The last tooth I lost I got $2 for. My mom said it must have been because I got it out by myself. Mom said she only got like 25 cents for a tooth when she was a kid. Plus, my grandpa would pull her teeth out with needle nose pliers. There is NO way I would ever let my dad do that. If the tooth fairy gives me $2 per tooth then I will get $14. That is A LOT!! I can't wait to buy something with it. My mouth hurts! Gotta go!
