Well, I thought I'd risk the "duh, yeah we know all about this, Maddie..." to make sure all mommas with little ones needing cavities filled know about laser dentistry.

laser info here

Since moving to the country, I've had a few little ones develop cavities as we have well water and panicked about little ones facing the drill. I found a dentist who does laser dentistry and for most cavities they can use the laser. No anesthetic. No pain. They can eat immediately after the procedure. My 4yo had 2 cavities filled in 15 minutes and she didn't cry. Her biggest complaint was the light in her eyes!

Such a far cry from when I was a child and had to endure the drill and the pain. I'm telling ya, it is well worth the drive to a laser dentist for your little ones (and any big ones!) I literally cried with relief and joy after she was done, it is just amazing.

That is really cool Maddie, though I'm not sure I would agree with the being worth a drive.. but then my drive to a larger town is minimum of 2.5 hrs one way.. if there's anyone there that would do it.. otherwise it's 4 hrs and across state lines..

But we have a very good dentist here that the kids know so they're very relaxed about going in and it doesn't bother them near as much as I remember.. I think just because they're not being confronted by strangers.. which we'd lose if we went elsewhere.

I feel blessed that they have the digital xray that are so much safer than the standard type.
