My First Trip to the Dentist

"Mom, what are you doing? It's just the dentist!"

This is mommy being excited about our first dentist trip. I felt weird asking them to take our picture so I did. 

"Oh, they have some cool things at this place"

This is called the knee-to-knee room. I sat on that ottoman behind Anna and placed her facing me with her legs wrapped around my waist. Then I laid her back onto Dr. Whites lap so she could look in her mouth. 

This where Dr. White sat and placed Anna's head on the pink blanket. Anna didn't really like people going on her mouth, cried a lot. Dr. White brushed her teeth and sang a nice song and then painted on some fluoride to protect her teeth. 

         

"Oooo what is all that?"

Getting Anna's toothbrush and fluoride ready. 

Just a picture of the dentist area. Anna's Dental hygienists name was Anna too. (And Anna's nurse at Dr. Horger's office has the same birthday. She has connections everywhere she goes!)

Anna got a t-shirt, a toothbrush and a coupon to Chick-Fil-A. What a dental visit! Oh, and she got to pick out a prize after being such a good girl, she chose a green frog. Dr. White said she felt Anna's 1 year molars. They're due to come in next. Then her top canine's and then the rest. We need to start brushing before bed just with water. When Anna learns to spit we can try a bit of children toothpaste but only need the size of a piece of rice Dr. White said. We're headed back in a year.
