We have actually been taking Paige to the Dentist every six months since sometime after she turned 1. But all of those visits have involved her laying in my lap, the dentist looking and counting her teeth. No cleanings.
We knew that this visit was going to be a big one. The dentist had told us to buy one of those electric spin brushes for kids to prepare her for the sound. And She also recommended a Dora goes to the Dentist book. She was ready!
They took her in, and actually did ex-rays. She did pretty good, but couldn't do the ones in the back- her mouth was just a little too small. But she listen well and she stayed still- which was a big deal.
Then they took her to a chair, cleaned her teeth, flossed and had a fluoride treatment. The Dentist came over, looked at her teeth and she was done. I was so proud of how well she did. They think that next time I may not even need to come back with her.
