First Dental Appointment

We finally made it to Emily's first dental appointment on Monday, the 20th. It had to be rescheduled on May 4th because when the lady called to confirm I said, "uh, my water broke this morning..."
When we arrived Dr. D was very welcoming and nice to Emily. Then, right off the bat he went to get her a new toothbrush. She had three to choose from... Jesse (Toy Story), Belle, or Dora. No brainer... Belle was selected!
She was also pretty excited to see that Tangled was on the TV above her head but she only had a minute to enjoy before he started looking around in her mouth.
He said her teeth are very clean (yay!) and look really great and since she was so cooperative the hygienist came over to do a cleaning.
Emily was a little confused by the "straw" that sucks instead of you sucking on it.
Then she got a little fluoride painted on...
and was released to watch Tangled again.
But only for a second, she had to pick out a prize after all.
She chose a little horse and already had plans for the farmer to ride it at home. Then, we were on our way out and she stopped in to check out the video game section of the waiting room.
I think it was a pretty great visit and don't expect to have too much trouble getting her back there.

  4. Glad it was a success!!! These child dentists are pretty smart...TV screens on the ceiling and prizes afterwards.
