OUCH

When Chris went in for his dental exam for his mission papers last week the dentist discovered that his one and only wisdom tooth that ever developed was causing problems with his back molar. Sloan told Chris they were going to have to saw it out. Chris has never even had a cavity...so his only dental experience has been teeth cleaning. What a way to start. Sloan said that Chris was a hoot in the dental chair once he got the laughing gas. Sloan had to remove some bone so he said he'd be in some pain and have a bit more swelling. When we left the office Chris grinned and said "Thanks....you guys were great." Sloan looked at me and said "Tell me what he's calling me in a couple of hours." Chris asked for the tooth and when we went in to get his pain killers at the pharmacy he stuck it right up in the pharmacists face and said "You want to see my wisdom tooth?" I think he had way to much laughing gas. Once the freezing ended the laughing wore off. He wasn't his usual perky self as the day wore on. Lots of ice to the face and some good pain killers got us through the day. When he woke up this morning his face was really swollen. Hope he heals quickly as he's off for his next adventure. BYU Idaho......here he comes!
