“I have a few cavities. I don't like to call them cavities, though - I like to call them 'places to put stuff'. 'Do you know where I can store a pea?' 'Yes, I have some locations available.'”

Mitch Hedberg (American Comedian, 1968-2005)

TIME: 2:53 PM & 3:24 PM
PLACE:  Pediatric Dental Office 
SUBJECT: MonkeyBoy

MonkeyBoy had his appointment to have his cavity filled today.  I could tell he was a little nervous while we were in the waiting room.  However, he went through the procedure like a champ.  The laughing gas helped a bit with that.  Can you see how much more dilated his eyes are in the second photo?  The dentist and her assistant were exclaiming over how full and red his lips are...they teased him how many women pay good money to get lips
as full as his!

Laughing gas? He got laughing gas? I've never gotten LG at the dentist, just the good ole fashioned shot in the gum. Ouch!

Poor guy! That's great that you are capturing all of these great moments. I've never had laughing gas in the chair either. Great shots!

Ouch! Nothing worse than having to get a filling

Hope it didn't hurt later. Dentists are never fun and I think your pictures prove it--even with the laughing gas.
