The Best Dentist

I had my first dentist appointment today and entered the office saying, "The best dentist.". Thankfully I left the dentist feeling the same way. Mom had prepped me for this all week. She told me how they were going to count my teeth, look in my mouth, and maybe take pictures. So, I was ready.

Here I am in the waiting room. The ladies there love me, I had met them before. They had some magazines out for me already and said it would be just a few minutes.



Here I am in the chair. Miss Diane is my hygienist. She gave me a pair of latex gloves like hers and got all my fingers in the right spots, that way I knew what they felt like. I loved the sunglasses, they protected me from the big flashlight. I thought the dentist bib was a bit big for me though. I was ready to get that off at the end. The ride in the chair was the only thing I found a bit scary. In all of our prep talks, mom had neglected to inform me that the chair moves! So, it took me a minute to relax once the chair stopped.





So, once I was in the air this is what happened. Miss Diane counted my teeth...I have all twenty teeth I'm suppose too! Then she used this special spinning brush that tickled to polish all of my teeth. Then, my dentist came in and he checked my teeth. He said I had good spacing and used this metal pick to tingle my molars, it sounded funny. After that, Miss Diane painted my teeth with flouride and said only healthy food for the day.





I didn't get any pictures taken of my teeth, they said I was still too little. Overall, I had a great report! I got a new bracelet and I new toothbrush that I carried with me to the car. After all that, mom and I went to lunch together at my request. After being such a good patient mom couldn't refuse a request to go to Chili's, my favorite restaurant! And of course, when we got home I used my new toothbrush.
