We took John Turner to visit the dentist for the first time this morning. We were not sure how he was going to react to this experience. We have talked about it and practiced what to do for months! When we arrived he was very excited to see all of the toys that were in the waiting room!
After playing for a while, they called us back to meet with the hygienist. She was super sweet with him. She talked to him about what was going to happen to him. She also let him pick out the toothbrush that she would use to polish his teeth. He chose a Dora and Diego toothbrush. He was very proud of it. When she told him he would get a prize if he was good, he asked if he could get money or candy! HAHA!
We then waited while she got everything ready. This is the face he gave when they called him name and said that they were ready for him!
For his first visit he did very well. Only a few tears were shed! The hygienist let him sit in Carlton's lap and lay his head back in hers while she cleaned them. Dr. Ellis then came over and examined and counted his teeth. He was so proud that he had 20 teeth! She was so amazing with him. He had no cavities! He got to put his name in the monthly drawing for kids' with no cavities! Hopefully he will win that free pizza! HAHA!! He then picked out his prizes. He chose a bracelet and a bouncy ball.
All in all, this experience wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it might be! He did end up getting some money too. Daddy slipped him a dollar bill on the way out for being such a big boy!
