Here comes the Tooth Fairy

Today was the day for Sam to get his accessed front tooth removed. After much consideration, we decided to change dentists and use oral sedation rather than IV sedation. 
The procedure itself only took about 10 minutes; first to numb the area and let it sit, and then to remove the tooth. They gave him a sedation drink beforehand, so  he was a little more relaxed. 
Overall it went pretty well. The sedation has made him grumpy, but he just ate a little lunch, so hopefully that will help to left his spirits. The Tooth Fairy will be dropping buy tonight, so that should make him really happy. The dental assistant asked Sam what he wanted from the Tooth Fairy, and he told her he wanted a new bunny. So I called Jason to tell him to find a new bunny toy today!
Here's a picture of Sam before his trip tot the dentist. I'll take an after picture when he's feeling better.
