We have awesome patients!!

This is a shout out to all patients and parents of Pediatric Dental & Orthodontics.  Without you, we would have a very boring day.   Here are a few incidents that make us laugh:

     A ten-year-old boy came into our office for a check up and cleaning. During the exam, Dr. Anderson was explaining to mom that one of his permanent teeth has a large cavity and needs to be covered with a crown. The boy became upset and said, “ No, I don’t want that cavity to be fixed.  I like to store my candy in that crater.”

 

     A six-year-old boy came in because mom was worried about inflamed and irritated gums. Dr. Anderson then asked the patient if he was chewing on something that might have hurt his gums.

     The child then said, “Yeah I chew on my food. DUH! What else would I chew on, humans or something?”

Sometimes we learn a little bit about home, as in this story:

     After finishing treatment on a five-year-old sedated boy he was offered a popsicle. He asked the assistant “Do you have any crab?”

     She told him, “No I am sorry we only have popsicle’s.”

     The child started to cry and said, “We don’t have any crab at home either.”
