Connor had his first dentist visit today and he did awesome! I started prepping him yesterday by telling him we were going to see the dentist and they were going to look at his teeth. He didn't act scared and seemed fine. He did say "no check up" repeatedly today, but I think he got the dentist confused with his regular doctor.
When we arrived at the clinic, I checked in and Connor watched Curious George at the kid table.
When they called us, Connor walked right on back. While the tech asked me questions, the dentist kneeled down at Connor's level and held his hand. He asked Connor if he was in school and if he knew why he was there. He was really sweet and took Connor to see the stickers he could choose from after he was done. Once I was done answering questions, we sat Connor on my lap with his legs wrapped around me and then Connor laid back with his head in the dentists lap. He was quite comfy and did everything the dentist asked him. The dentist looked at all his teeth, brushed them, flossed between the teeth that were touching, and then applied fluoride.
Yay for pretty teeth, hardly any crowding, and no cavities!
He was all done after about 10 minutes and got to pick out a sticker that he ended up not even wearing.He was too concerned with his bag of goodies that included a toothbrush, toothpaste, flossers, and an information sheet. We said thank you and goodbye to the dentist and he told Connor that he was his best patient of the day. Great job Connor!
Look at those pearly whites. :)
