Well, this was quite an experience. Ty needed to get some cavities filled. He was okay with the xray machine, but when they went to put the mask on him, he started to tear up. He is afraid of the mask because of what happens when he gets his esophagus stretch. So the bottom line is the dentist didn't want to upset him so we went home without filling the cavity. We told the dentist that we would go home and 'practice' with him with a mask so that he wouldn't be so scared. A few weeks later we were back at the dentist office. The practicing worked! Also a little bribery with a new toy if he wouldn't cry worked! He was a little chatterbox as they worked on his teeth. This particular dentist has a tv above their heads so they can watch with sunglasses and headphones! He also got one tooth completely pulled out and he did well at that setting also! When we were finished he said it was fun and wanted to know when we were going back again!!!
