Thanks guys for the support. I felt like a psycho maniac yesterday. I told my husband if I was not careful my nursing license would be pulled for assault! Seriously, I did not go that far, but I was so steamed, I made my feelings clear, and cried all the way home. I HATE it when I get so angry I bawl like a baby.....Needl ess to say our little guy went to a special dentist who only does this type of thing 2 hours from us. They took 2 1/2 hours and during this time, they took "complimentary xrays " of all teeth to be sure there was no other trouble, and there was not. They cleaned his teeth, let him check out the equiptment, and let him handle it, with EASY to understand explanations of their use, USED GAS THANK GOD! and "wiggled" his molar out. I was given a copy of the xrays they took, and my son walked out of there a HUGE molar intact down to the roots in a little orange treasure chest. Steve said he cried for a while as it was sore and infected and no ammount of novacaine would keep it totally numb during the extraction, but icecream pitstop , and he walked through the door with a smile on his face. I must have called the dental office 5 times today to make sure they were not going to restrain my child, and they were very understanding, I am sure eyes were rolled after each call! LOL! Needless to say we are shopping for a new dentist in town! Shana
