The Dentist
February 28, 2007
We had R’s first dentist visit. I must say she did remarkably well. Our dentist was so great with her. We had prepped by reading a Dora book about her first visit to the dentist, and I think that helped too. The dentist counted her teeth (20), and took the time to show her all the tools, and let her touch them. Her favourite of course was the sucky thingy. R loved to have it in her mouth, and the dentist then got a cup of water and let R suck up all the water, how cool it that! She even managed to polish 3 teeth. So we have to start flossing R’s teeth now. She seemed to take that in stride too, as I bought cool “crayola colours” flossers for kids. Of course the dentist commented on how R seemed to be our pride and joy. Well duh! I guess we’re pretty in love with our kid and love bragging…are we the only crazy parents like that?
