Awwww, I know how you feel! Couver will be fine though! If he needs it done, I would do it. Teeth care is sooo important as it can affect other vital organs, etc. They also will sometimes find things that you had no idea. Jackson had a dead tooth in there and I had NO idea so they pulled that before it started any infection or anything.

I am like you though and I probably would have avoided scheduling a dental for a long time had he not needed something else done in his mouth (his canine tooth was poking into his upper gum, causing a hole, and it *needed* be to fixed as he was in pain). So had it not been for that, I probably would have been like you... avoiding it, canceling, re-scheduling, LOL.

You know how I am about Jackson and how close he and I are, but he did absolutely FINE!!! And the best part is that he felt sooo much better a few days later. I think it's almost like when we get our teeth cleaned at the dentist- it just feels so much better (plus Jackson's other problem of course, took away his pain).

Anyways, just do it!! Couver will be fine and do great and you and he will both feel better once it's done. I will be thinking of you guys on the day because I know it's a lot harder on us than it is on him.

Also be sure to find a place you really trust and it will be so much better. I took Jackson to a dentist specialist and it was more expensive but so much more worth my peace of mind, I felt very confident with him in their hands and knew he was going to be safe. If I had any uneasy feeling at all, I wouldn't have left him there.
