Casper got crown #1 today. She was apparently fine at the dentist, but after they were home for a while the novocaine wore off and she was crying in pain. (mr. flea called the dentist and they said that the pain was probably because they seat the crown under the gumline, not from the pulpotomy action.) Motrin is helping.

And I'm at work, and not home with my baby whose cavities are all my fault anyway. Wah.

Poor Casper! But her teeth are not your fault!

Some of the pain comes from the mouth being held while it's numb. I usually end up with an achy jaw. Holding ice on outside helps as does ibuprofen.

The cavities are not your fault, unless you're blaming yourself for bad genetics.

Awww. But what Ginger said--my jaw ends up aching from holding open and people stuffing hands in my mouth (especially I'm guessing a kid has that--big dentist hands! tiny mouth!). Poor kiddo.
