The Dentist
Well after talking about it for over a year and a half (and reading books about it), the girls finally went to the dentist for the first time. I know shame on me and all that since the ADA recommends dentist by the age of one (as ridiculous as that is). Anyhoo, lucky for me we have good dental hygiene, never slept with bottles and did not drink juice until after the age of 3 because no cavities and perfect teeth all around. Landis of course got a clean bill of health for her two tiny teeth.
The girls did really well with the uber kid friendly dentist. Both sat in the chair, Piper volunteered to go first since she would get a prize first but was very uneasy in the chair and her mouth was frozen in the open position (at least it wasn’t closed). They both disliked the flouride treatment, Lela actually drank about 12 ounces of water after and would have had more if I had any. The dentist had a cool gumball machine thing that dispensed all sorts of toys, the kids get a token and then can pick their toy. They really liked that.
No teeth cleaning today, just a brushing. They will have their first cleaning in about 6 months. We have to check on whether Lela needs antibiotics or not to have her teeth cleaned due to her ASD/VSD thing. We don’t go back to the cardio until she is 5 so we don’t even know if the hole is still there, I am guessing no since they had trouble even finding it last time.
All in all a super visit topped off by lunch with their favorite Dad (and only dad for that matter just in case you were wondering).
