Dentist

This morning Ian had his first dentist appointment.  He did really well!

Our dentist's office has bird cages in each treatment room and Ian really enjoyed watching the birds.  He didn't like the tooth brushing so much, but he tolerated it.  His favorite part was the rinse-and-spit sink - he filled the cup about 10 times.  The dentist gave him a bag of goodies with a toothbrush, toothpaste, and an hourglass timer to measure how long he should be brushing.  He got to pick 3 toys from the treasure chest, and the dentist made him a special "balloon" out of a glove and then drew a rooster face above the thumb.  Ian took his goodies to school to show all of his friends.

  1. To prepare your child for his or her first visit, try playing the “kids dentist.” Count your child’s teeth, and have them count yours.
