My traumatic weekend!

Hi everyone,

Over the weekend, I started to get a sore gum. By Sunday, I had a lump on my gum and I looked like Theodore, from Alvin and the Chipmunks 🐹  😂😂😂

I had to go to the emergency dentist, beside the old hospital. While we were waiting, we walked around the grass area and we found a helipad and a bunny rabbit. I stood on the helipad – it looked like a giant welcoming sign for me!

Soon it was time for me to go in. I used the alcohol hand sanitiser, then we went through the automatic doors (which nearly gave me a heart attack) and then to the front desk, where ‘Stacy’ told us to go through to see the dentist. By the way, Stacy has a number plate that says ‘ok stacy’ – it looked cool. I asked her about it and she said her husband bought her it because he always says ‘ok stacy’ – that made me laugh!

My experience was sooo traumatic, and I was a bit dramatic, that I would like to try and forget it. But I have a photo of me after…

The thing in my mouth is a piece of gauze which helped to stop the bleeding.  Afterwards, for the rest of the day and most of the night, half of my face was numb. I was not allowed to take my tooth home for the Toothfairy because of Coronavirus, so the dentist gave me an envelope for under my pillow. I wrote the Toothfairy a note and put it in the envelope, then under my pillow.

This morning, I woke up and Mum came into my room. She asked me if I had checked the envelope, to see if the Toothfairy had left me a note. I looked in the envelope, which was still under my pillow, and discovered that the Toothfairy had left me a note – a £5 note!

I hope this week has less pain for me.
