Hi GM,
Well, my son's teeth were pulled today. (two front teeth).

I took the xrays from the previous dentist with me to the new dentist. He had a look at them, then examined my son's teeth. Said they both needed to come out.

I gave him Arnica 12x 30 minutes prior and immediatly after having the teeth pulled.

HE WAS A LITTLE TROOPER-MAN. He's only 3 1/2 and didn't shed on tear. The dentist was FANTASTIC. He asked my son if he liked bubble-gum..then put the cotton bud swabbed in anesthetic on his gum (tasted like bubble gum). Then he asked him if he liked magic - my son duly nodded - then the D played a game (to distract him) of counting to ten...and my son had to wiggle his big toes while counting with the D and his assitant! ..they were fantastic...my son never even knew a needle was involved!!!!!!! Amazing.

The teeth were pulled and he didn't even know it!! This is when I told the D that I had given Arnica and he said, "Oh, that is why there is SO LITTLE BLEEDING "! And asked if I had another dose to give !!

He was expensive - but my goodness...worth every cent! My son only cried when he realised the bubble gum 'stick' was gone from his mouth!!! LoL!!!

He's a bit clingy this evening as a result...still think it was a little traumatic...but he ate okay..and drank,etc...and is peacefully sleeping.

Thanks GM, for all your support, help, guidance and advice!
I'll post on his case later - if other things develop.

Again, thank you.
Lisa
