What is the name of the boy in the "David After Dentist" viral video?

The boy in the “David After Dentist” viral video is David DeVore Jr.

In May 2008, seven-year-old David had oral surgery to remove an extra tooth, a condition associated with hyperdontia. His father, David DeVore Sr., recorded him afterward in the car while he was still confused and disoriented from anesthesia. David’s questions, including “Is this real life?” and “Is this going to be forever?”, became the video’s defining moments.

The father first uploaded the recording to Facebook roughly seven months after the surgery, intending to share it with family. He later posted it to YouTube, accidentally leaving the video public rather than private. Within three days, it had reportedly attracted more than three million views, helping make it an early viral-video landmark.

The video’s title describes the situation, not the boy’s surname. David Brown, David Johnson and David Smith are generic distractors; the child’s family name is DeVore. The family later monetized the video and donated part of related merchandise revenue to dental charities.
