Successfully survived his first tooth filling

It was last summer when Marty had his first consultation with a pedia-dentist.
Although nothing is aching yet, findings were a lot to be extracted and some
need to undergo filling. Unfortunately, due to his summer activities, his date with
a dentist was overlooked.

Last week was a pain struggle for my little boy.  He had his 1st pain when we
were dining out. 



Immediately after we brought him to a dentist and was advised to take anti-biotic
for a week due to gum-swelling.  He was also scheduled for tooth filling instead 
of extraction.  I also learned that if the tooth can still be remedied, its not advisable
to extract it so that when the permanent tooth comes out, it will have its guide 
to grow on its proper place. 

Just this Saturday, he had his first tooth filling. My son was so brave that he was
so cooperative during the entire procedure.  The dentist was also amazed with
him. I was the one who is nervous for my son. 


After an hour procedure, my Marty looked happy.  Also, he heard what the dentist
advised him on how to take care of his teeth so that he will not have anymore
toothache. Avoid sweets, cold drinks and stop drinking milk in a bottle. 

Surprisingly, he did not drink milk anymore in a bottle. Yehey, big thanks to his
toothache. I can now throw his bottles.
