Jake & Mallory had their first dental exams today, & they did so well! We chose a pediatric dentist close to our house that our pediatrician had recommended. I'm so glad we did - her office was the ultimate in kid-friendly. The waiting room had fun toys & a big TV playing The Little Mermaid, which is a household fave.
Once we got back to the exam room, the sweet hygenist hooked them up with cool shades for the bright lights, & there was another TV back there with Finding Nemo playing on it. Mal opted to go first & loved the fun explanations for all of the dental tools.
I hung out on this window seat just across from the exam chairs so I could watch the action. While Jake waited for his turn, he helped this gorilla & his friends get their teeth clean with a giant toothbrush.
Jake soon got settled in the chair next to Mal's when it opened up & was instantly tuned into Nemo.
He was a big kid as well & handled everything like a champ!

Our first visit to the dentist was a success! Both kids got good reports, new toothbrushes & some fun prizes. Way to go, big kids!
So proud of them!! They look like they handle it like pros!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to have the contact info of the dentist (if you recommend her). We need to go to one but have no idea how to choose!
