Tobey did amazing at his first trip to the dentist. While there were a couple other kids screaming, Tobey was as cooperative as he could have been. Usually they only look at a kid's teeth the first time they come, but the hygentist was able to do the entire cleaning, flossing, and fluoride. That was done in the hygentist's lap, but when the doctor came to check his teeth, he actually got into the chair (they had a tv up above playing Cars). The only concern was that he is getting buck teeth due to his thumb sucking. Our hope is that the thumb sucking will improve once Gee starts staying in his bed, which we plan to accomplish sometime before he starts preschool in September. When he was all done, he picked a little monster truck from the toy box...little monster truck haha!
Tobey, I am so proud of you for being such a good boy at the dentist! You amaze me every day! <3 <3
Take a little time and prepare yourself for your trip to the dentist. This will make it easier for you to be seen and help you feel more comfortable about being treated.
