I took Liberty to the dentist for the very first time today. They usually don't see kids until they are 3, but I was worried about some white spots on her bottom teeth so I wanted to start early.
She cried the whole time the dentist was working on her, but it wasn't the big crocodile tears and snot kind of screaming and crying, it was just the "I'm scared" kind of crying, which isn't quite as dreadful. I have a pretty wicked case of laryngitis right now, so trying to talk to the dentist over her crying was a challenge in itself, but I managed. Overall, she held still on my lap while I held her hands and the dentist said she did great....but he's probably used to screaming kids.
Her dentist was young and nice and very sweet to her and to me. The white stuff on her bottom teeth turned out to be tartar, so he scraped it all off and her little toofers look good as new! No signs of decay or cavities or anything like that *whew* He did say he could tell she used a pacifier and it felt good to say we had gotten rid of it two weeks ago. Go us!
They brushed her teeth with the polishing thingy and gave her a fluoride treatment, then gave her a little pink hippo toy and a goodie bag. The office was so cute....all set up for the little ones, they have a whole play house set up in the lobby wth a slide and a big clock and everything! She even convinced one of the nurses to go down the slide with her, it was so cute...I swear, that kid makes friends everywhere she goes.
So, we survived and we go back in 6 months!
