On Friday Jakob went back to the dentist again for the first of hopefully only 3 visits for a long time. He is getting used to it now, he jumps up in the chair, talks to the dentist, opens his mouth and does evertying he is told to do even though the dentist sometimes have to tap on his shoulder to get his attention when he all of a sudden starts focusing on something else i the room.
It started off very well, he got the injection and the dentist told me that he put more anastethic than last time just in case he would have to pull the tooth off. He started the grinding and stopped after a while. He tapped Jakob's shoulder to make him listen and told him that the tooth had a very high fever and wasn't feeling very good. The best would be to "wiggle" it out because otherwiser it might start hurting very soon. I am not sure if Jakob really understood what was about to happen but before we knew it the tooth was out! Jakob was amazing, he handled it great and was only a bit worried about all the blood. When I took him to dagis I stayed there for a bit sitting next to him on a couch checking that the bleeding had stopped. After a while he said: Mummy what are you doing here, why dont' you go to work? I said I just wanted to stay with him for a bit to make sure he was ok. Just go mummy he said then and looked a bit embarrassed about the fact that I was sitting there in the middle of all his friends.
Anyway, it has now been 2 days and he hasn't complained once so so far so good. I am just a bit worried about the next visit on Monday morning. Jakob has told me the last couple of days that one of the other teeth is hurting a bit. That might mean that there is another one that needs to be pulled out agian very soon....
