I'd say we've been preparing for the dentist for about 6 months. Sidney Kate went with us to our appointments and then Grandma got her a book titled Dora Goes to the Dentist. She has read that book so many times she's practically an expert at what you'll find in the dentist's office. However, I was still super nervous that she'd panic and not let them look inside her mouth...or that she'd have to be on my lap. Basically, I was really worried.
SKV on the other hand seemed really excited about the trip. We dropped Embree Claire off at GG's work and she told everyone where she was going. Normally she doesn't want to talk to anyone when we visit the office but on this day she had something to say. She kept telling ECV, "Baby sister, I have to to the dentist, see you later."
So we walked down the sidewalk to the dentist!
We compared the waiting room here to the waiting room in Dora's book. We didn't find crayons but we found a TV and animal magazines!
Sunglasses to protect her eyes from Mr. Sunshine! The hygenist was awesome! She did so well with SKV!
Counting those teeth! 10 on top and 10 on bottom!
When it was all said and done she allowed them to count her teeth, clean her teeth, floss her teeth, squirt water in her mouth and use the suction thing plus paint fluoride on her teeth! It was an awesome trip and she's looking forward to her 6 month check up where they'll do x-rays!!!
