Little Fatty's first dental treatment

As long as little fatty lives with us, the only gain she gets are weight and teeth cavities. What a bonus for her! What a terrible reward for our parenting!

As long as big fatty keeps brushing little fatty's teeth, the cavity still comes out, which completely depresses big fatty's parenting confidence. It's just like the more big fatty brushes, the more the cavities come out, and the less interest of brushing teeth little fatty has. That's really frustrating!

Being a responsible parent, taking care of little fatty is my life-long duty. Yesterday, big fatty decided to take her to the dentist to fix her teeth. I'd hoped the cavities would be on the front teeth which I thought might be treated more easily. But only after several minutes, I realized that I was totally wrong. Little fatty could not bear the treatment for even one minute. The dentist almost used out her personnels to make her stay on the dental chair with my assistance. Once she laid down on the chair, her eyes reflected a scared look and she only opened her mouth with half way not enough for dental tools. The dentist had to use a special tool to enlarge her mouth and then quickly honed in on her cavities. Just then, she began crying. Oh, wait a minute, actually she began screaming. The tears she manufactured were like a volcano erupting, which turned her face deep red, and made her sweat. Big fatty was very upset and could not look at little fatty's suffering while holding her head still. But it still didn't work. The usual adult treatment is only half an hour or a maximum of 3 quarters, but for little fatty, it took 1 hour to fix only half her mounts. The dentist could not do the fillings, no matter what method she used, such as offering a doll, threated her that big fatty was gonna leave or just remaining few more minutes to go. I was also so sad for her. Finally, for those who were waiting for treatment as scheduled, the dentist quit trying, and instructed receptionist to write a letter of referral for us. Big fatty had no choice but to book another treatment. The next torture date is Apr. 24. They told me they will have little fatty sleep.

No one likes dentists, but everyone needs them.
