Today was Little Man's first dental appointment...ever! Dr. J greeted us in the waiting area and walked us back...explaining to both of us what he would be doing today. Very professional, very informative...while Little Man managed to find the x-ray room and wanted to play with the cameras. :) Dr. J explained that some kids "freak out" when the hygienist starts brushing their teeth and also on some of the x-rays but I reassured him that Little Man would do just fine....which he later told me ALL mom's say and it turns out to be the complete opposite.
Miss M, his hygienist was great! Very sweet, explained everything before she started and let Little Man touch everything that she was going to stick in his mouth so he'd know what to expect.
Well, he was great! Kicked back with his headphones on and watched a Dora video like it was no big deal! Probably helped that he has a rotating Tigger toothbrush, loves to wear his headphones at home and is generally curious about everything.
Dr. J said his teeth looked perfect and that we were doing a great job....I even received a Great Mom certificate! ((pat pat patting myself on the back)).
Looking forward to more positive visits to the Dentist for Little Man!
