Today I took Lincoln for his very first dental appointment. I decided to take him to our dentist's office in Allen. They call the first visit a "Happy Visit" with the goal of getting them acquainted to the sounds, instruments, people, etc. Lincoln did fantastic, much better than I anticipated, and I thought he'd do pretty good. The hygienist counted his teeth with the little mirror and scraper, she cleaned and polished them with the real tool, not a toothbrush and then she flossed his teeth. Finally, the dentist came in for a look too. He said his teeth look great, with nice spacing and shape. He was quick to notice a slight overbite thanks to Lincoln's finger sucking, but said overall, his teeth look great!
Some of Lincoln's favorite parts....
1. Bubble gum flavored tooth polish
2. The water sprayer and Mr. Thirsty (the spit sucker)
3. Riding up and down in the chair
Cleaning his pearly whites
Sucking spit with Mr. Thirsty
He looks so grown up in the chair
Counting his teeth---20 to be exact
We don't have to go back for another year, hopefully visit number 2 will be just as easy!
