1st Trip to the Dentist

The boys had their 1st dental visit 12/10/11. I went in with NO expectations, hoping they would cooperate so I wouldn't have to find a pediatric dentist. I decided to take them to my dentist that I've gone to since I was 7, he and his staff are so awesome. I was hoping they would just get them to cooperate with their friendliness and I was RIGHT! I was SO surprised they were so cooperative! They both let them do a full cleaning, floss and get x-rays!

Blake volunteered to go first. I told them they could take a stuffed animal with them so they could get their teeth cleaned too! Blake brought his dolphin, he had a tight grip on him the whole time, but he did so awesome! He got an A+ from the dentist and he said his teeth look perfect, his bite is great and his spacing for his big teeth look good! Although, since Mommy & Daddy both had braces we are expecting they will need them too, but we will see! It couldn't have gone smoother! He was so excited to bring home his goodie bag with a Buzz Lightyear toothbrush and kids toothpaste!

Drew was a little more timid to climb in the big scary dentist chair after seeing what Blake just participated in. He watched everything they did to Blake and wasn't sure it was as painless as Blake said. With a little pushing and coaxing we got him in the chair and he did great! The dental hygenist explained everything in detail to them and they go to wear cool Spongebob Squarepants shades! Drew's teeth, bite and spacing got an A+ too!

Drew, I'm sure he was thinking...."Alright, I'll go along with this...they've got cool shades!"





I'll let you do this, but I'm going to keep my hand up here...just in case!
Blake watching closely!

Drew, legs crossed, he's relaxed...cool, calm and collected!

Blake holding Drew's hand...so sweet!

Blake told Drew he was proud of him!

Then, he wanted to examine his teeth, just like the dentist!

While Drew was in the big chair Blake was a great brother, he held his hand and kept a close eye making sure everything was okay. When Drew was done they both hugged, I didn't get a pic of that! We were in and out in a hour!
