First Visit to the Dentist!

Last week we had our first dental visit for the twins!  I felt like it was time and I had a couple of concerns, so we made the appointment.  I can't say I wasn't nervous, but it went WAY better than I had anticipated.  My sister makes fun of me, but I always check credentials of everyone for everything.  I just can't help it!  She was mortified when I asked for credentials before I got a massage!  Ha!  So, a couple of weeks ago, Henry & I went by to check out the place I had researched online and do the paperwork.  I have to say, I was thrilled with everything about it.  The waiting area was great-they had a big t.v. with a kids' movie playing and lots of toys.  The hygenists were really great with the kids and super-nice.  They explained everything ahead of time and showed them their tools.  They had a stuffed "nemo" that you could brush his teeth, and a big kangaroo with a big toothbrush that you could brush.  They also had kids' sunglasses for them to wear so the light wouldn't bother them.  Emilynn did great and loved it-of course.  Carson fought it tooth and nail, I had to hold him for the girl to clean his teeth, and for the dentist to check him.  The dentist was great, and we had no cavities!  Yay!  They got a flouride treatment, and we were on our way!  They got goody bags with new brushes, floss, paste, and plastic cups with the office name on there.  They also got stickers, and a token to go in the machine in the lobby with little trinkets/toys.  All in all, it was a great experience, even with Carson being upset.  I knew he would be, which is why I chose a children's practice.  If he ever has to have work done, he'll have to be sedated, which they do.  He gets upset when we brush his teeth at night, so any work is out of the question.  We are good for 6 months and I won't be nervous anymore when we go-I know what to expect!  :-)  Another milestone met!
