First Trip to the Dentist

Just had to share these pictures from Meadow's first visit to the dentist. She did an absolutely amazing job and I couldn't have been more proud. I was actually the only one near tears. I just couldn't believe how grown up she is getting. We had hyped up the visit and talked about how fun it was going to be for the dentist to look at her teeth. She also knew we were going out to lunch with dad afterwards, which is always a fun treat. The dental clinic is right across from where Todd works. The hygenist did such a great job of interacting with her and making her feel comfortable. She loved to wear the cool sunglasses and especially loved the prizes she got at the end.
The hygenist showed her the tools she was going to use and she gave them special kid friendly names for fun.

I think she also loved sitting in the big chair

She let the hygenist check out all her teeth and let the dentist count them all with her. The dentist said her teeth look great and there is lots of great spacing so it will be easier to clean her teeth. She let the hygenist clean her teeth and also let me paint flouride on her teeth. What a trooper. The staff said that she was the most well behaved 2 year old they had ever seen at an appointment. Now that makes you feel good as a parent.

I was so relieved that her teeth look great. She has been doing a little better with brushing and letting us brush, but it is always a challenge to get in the back. We will be back to the dentist in another six months. I am so glad we started this early so she can get used to the dentist's office.
