I had been talking to Penguin Girl daily about the whole process of getting fillings. Although she was nervous, she never got broken up about it. Until she got into the dentists chair. Then she started wailing and sobbing. I actually thought we were going to have to just go home but the dentist and his hygienist talked her down. It turns out she was really just very anxious about getting the injection of anesthetic. She bounced back quickly. She even started snorting like a pig in jest while the dentist was still finishing the injections. The dentist was very speedy with the whole procedure. Luckily, he was able to fill even the really cavernous cavity and he was optimistic about being able to do the same to the crater on the opposite side of her mouth in 2 weeks when we return for the second and hopefully last round of fillings.
In other news, Car Guy took himself to the dentist for the first time in 6 years. And he called from the dentist's chair to inform me that he has no cavities even though he only brushes once a day and rarely flosses. Superb.
