Hope you are all well! Much love!
Niall and Kristyn Horan were happily married with their four-year-old daughter, Kaylyn. The three of them were due for a dentist appointment, and it was going to be Kaylyn's very first appointment. Something about Kristyn was, she was absolutely terrified of the dentist, and they didn't know if Kaylyn would share the same fear of the dentist as her mom. Kristyn slid some shoes on Kaylyn, Niall grabbed the keys, and they were out the door. A short drive later, they were at the dentist, and they pulled into the familiar parking lot of the building. "What is this place, mommy?" Kaylyn asked from the backseat of the car. "It's the dentist office. We are all going to get our teeth checked and cleaned!" Kristyn smiled as she turned to look at her little girl. She could see Kaylyn's face drop, and that's when she knew that Kaylyn did in fact share the same terrible fear of the dentist with her mom. "I don't want to," Kaylyn said as Niall picked her up out of the car. "It'll be quick, baby. I promise, everything is alright," Niall soothed his daughter as he rubbed her back while he held her in his arms.
When they walked in, they got signed in, and then sat in the waiting room for their names to be called. Kristyn and Niall played with Kaylyn to get her mind off of things when an assistant walked to the door. "The Horans," she smiled as she looked in the room. Niall, Kristyn, and Kaylyn all stood and followed her back to the room they would be getting examined in. Luckily, Kristyn was able to supress her nerves, because it was just a cleaning. Niall went first, and Kaylyn watched intently because the whole experience was so new to her. Kristyn went after Niall, and then it was Kaylyn's turn. Kaylyn did a great job watching her parents go first, and how calm they stayed. They waited for a few minutes as the hygeniests left the room, and then Dr. Todd entered. "Hey guys!" he said as he walked in. "And, you must be Kaylyn," he smiled as he met the little girl, and she smiled at him. "I'm Dr. Todd!" he said shaking her small hand. "How are you guys doing?" he asked making small talk as he put some gloves on. "Good!" they all answered and he nodded happily. "Niall, I'll examine you first, bud," Dr. Todd said patting the dental chair, and Niall hopped in for him to do his job. After the exam, Dr. Todd announced, "well, it looks like you have one cavity, but everything else looks great!" "Okay, cool!" Niall said as he swapped places with Kristyn. "Okay, Kristyn, it looks like you have ten cavities," Dr. Todd gave her a frown knowing she wasn't the biggest fan of the dentist. Kristyn's heart dropped, but she tried to conceal her nerves, because it was Kaylyn's turn. "Okay, Kaylyn, can you smile really big for me?" Dr. Todd asked as Kaylyn sat in the chair. Kaylyn took it like a champ, and wound up with one cavitiy as well. "Okay, so do you want to all get them fixed today, since you are already here?" Dr. Todd offered, and Kristyn looked at Niall nervously. "I definitely want us to all get them done today," Niall answered. "That way we don't have to worry about coming back, and we can just get it all done at one whack," Niall explained. "Okay! We will get started then! Niall, you're up first," Dr. Todd said putting on another set of gloves, and then grabbing all of the supplies he would need to fix everyone. Kristyn sat on the bench that was in the room, and Kaylyn was sitting in her lap. Niall took it like a champ, and it was over in no time. Unfortunately, Niall's calm attitude didn't sway Kaylyn's nerves, and at this point she was absolutely terrified from watching her daddy have it done. "Okay, we will get Kaylyn done next, since she only has one," Dr. Todd smiled as Niall stood up. Kristyn stood up with Kaylyn, and tried sitting her in the chair, but was surprised when Kaylyn held onto her for dear life. "It's okay, Kaylyn. Do you want me to sit in the chair, and you sit in my lap? Daddy can hold your hands," Kristyn asked her getting the idea, and Kaylyn answered back immediately with a, "yes!" Kristyn got situated in the chair with Kaylyn in her lap while Dr. Todd got everything set up. "Kristyn, do you want me to go ahead and doing your numbing now, since I know it takes quite a while for you to get numbed, so when I am done with Kaylyn, you'll be ready to get started right after?" Dr. Todd asked Kristyn, and she looked at him for a second and then at Niall nervously. "Go ahead and do it, baby," Niall smiled at her, and she nodded as he took Kaylyn off her lap. "Great! We will get started numbing you then," Dr. Todd said putting the bib around Kristyn, and then put some numbing gel in her mouth. While that sat, he got the needles ready. "Okay, here we go," he said picking up the needle, and then starting to numb Kristyn. Kristyn tried with everything in her to bite back her tears, because she knew Kaylyn was sitting right there watching her, but it was no use. Tears started running down Kristyn's face, and Niall grabbed her hand as Dr. Todd finished numbing her. "Alright, you're all done!" Dr. Todd said, and Niall sat Kaylyn back in Kristyn's lap while she wiped her tears away.
"Okay, Kaylyn. So, I'm going to start by putting some numbing gel in your mouth to help make everything not hurt," Dr. Todd smiled at her as he told her what he was doing as he did it. "Alright, now I'm going to give you a small poke," Dr. Todd said getting the needle in his hand, and gently poking her with the needle. The small prick was enough to send Kaylyn into sobs and screams, and making everyone feel terrible. "It's alright, baby. I've got you. Calm down," Kristyn said as she rocked her daughter back and forth, trying everything she could to calm her down. Niall held her tiny hands, and helped Kristyn sooth her anxiousness, and finally the shot was over, and she was numbed immediately. "Good job, Kaylyn! Hard parts over!" Dr. Todd said quickly drilling the cavity out of her tiny tooth and filling it, and Kaylyn finally simmered down. "Great! You're all done!" he clapped as he finished. Niall took Kaylyn from Kristyn's lap while they all cheered her on, and Kristyn was numb by this point, so they got started.
"Okay, I'm going to give you some laughing gas first," Dr. Todd said pulling the oxygen nub over her face, and then getting started. Dr. Todd worked hard to try and get everything done as quickly as possible, but he spotted six more cavities. "Well, Kristyn, it looks like you have six more cavities I didn't see the first time. I'm going to go ahead and fill those today too," Dr. Todd said after he finished up the first ones, and Kristyn's breath hitched in her throat. Tears started coming down her face again, because she knew that meant more numbing shots. Niall felt awful for Kristyn, and his grip he had on her hand got tighter as he tried to comfort her. "Okay, we will get started really quick," Dr. Todd said after getting more needles ready, and the tears continued to pour down Kristyn's face. Kristyn couldn't take the pain from the needles, and began to panic even more. "Niall! It hurts so bad! Niall, please," she called for him as more sobs erupted from her. "It's okay, Kristyn. I'm right here, baby. You're alright," Niall comforted her as best he could as he held her hand, and Dr. Todd finally got her finally numbed.
After Dr. Todd finished the procedures, they thanked him, and then headed home. Niall felt horrible that Kristyn had to deal with so much, and he held her hand all the way home. "Let's go lay down," he smiled as they walked in their house. Kristyn didn't argue, and followed behind Niall as he carried Kaylyn into their bedroom, and they all laid down in Niall and Kristyn's bed. "I love you, girls!" Niall said as he cuddled his family close. "I love you too!" Kristyn and Kaylyn said before they all drifted off for a nap cuddled together.
