Savannah has had 4 cavities at the last 2 check ups she's had this year. So, today was filling day. They had to do a mini-root canal on her upper right back molar (yowza!) so they had to numb her up really good. She was so brave and didn't even move during the numbing procedure and hardly squirmed a bit during the entire filling process. The dentist and hygienist were so impressed. I HATE the dentist, and I have to say, she was a lot more brave than I would have been. She still has to have 4 more fillings done, but after an hour and a half of work, they figured she'd had enough for one day. The picture below is of her smiling as much as she could when we left the dentist because she was so numb. When she got home from school, she had chewed her right cheek (since she couldn't feel it) to the point where the right top of her lip was swollen all the way to the middle of her mouth. The numbing did not go away until the next morning. Poor thing.
