MILO POV
Dad stares at me. He looked upset.
"Milo please sit in the chair" dad says
Seymour leaves the room. Shilo sits in the chair in the corner of the room, one of the waiting chairs.
I sigh knowing I wasn't getting I wasn't getting out of this without having my cavity filled.
I decide to sit in the chair
"Well I don't know how big it is so I'm gonna take x-rays" dad states
I nod
He takes the x-rays.
He finishes then takes the lead jacket off me and replaced it with a regular bib.
Then he snaps on gloves and mask and reclined me back.
Then positions the light and picks up the mirror and explorer.
"Open" he says
I open
He immediately puts his tools in my mouth. He immediately finds the cavity and taps on it. It doesn't hurt as it's really tiny but it's a little sensitive.
"Does it hurt?" Dad questions
"Not really just sensitive to the touch" I say
He takes his tools out.
"I'm gonna have to drill and fill" he says grabbing the q-tip with jelly and rubbing it along my gum line then throws it away when he's done.
"Okay is it tingly yet?" Dad asks
I nod
"Close your eyes and open your mouth" he says now fiddling with something
I do what I was told
A few minutes I feel something in my mouth and it pinched a little then he takes it out.
"What was that?" I ask
"The needle" he says now putting it back
"Oh" I say
Half of my face was going numb.
A few minutes later I was numb.
"I'm numb" I say
"Okay" he says "open wide and close your eyes if it makes it comfortable"
I do as told and I heard the drill. I tried to stay calm. The sound of the drill makes me feel really uneasy.
He soon finished with the drill... thank god. Then he uses composite to fill it. Then dries it with special light for a few minutes then smoothens it. Then polishes the tooth. He uses suction and water occasionally.
Then he finally finishes and turns off the light and moves it and returns the chair to normal state.
Then removes my bib then his gloves and mask.
I get out of the chair and stood up.
"So milo tell me how much sugar do you eat?" Dad asks, he seemed upset at me.
"Everyone gets cavities dad" I say
Dad lets out a low chuckle.
"I've never had a cavity in my life" he says
My eyes widened
"Because dentists have perfect teeth" I say
"Sure" dad says
"How about your assistant or orthodontist" Shiloh laughs
"I don't know" dad shrugs
"Don't you do staff checkups?" I ask
"Yea and those are coming up in a few days" dad says
"That's exciting" I say
"Yea" dad said
After that we went home. Then chilled for the rest of the day.
