Caeden's 1st trip to the dentist

Yesterday was Caeden's first trip to the dentist! We took him to a place that specializes in children's dentsitry. It came very highly recommended by some friends.

When we got there they let him pick out a new tooth brush and then showed him around the office. He thought that was pretty cool. Next came the part where he sat in the chair. He got to wear "special" glasses to keep the light from shinning in his face. He looked so cute wearing these.

The hygentsist showed him everything she was going to do and even let him touch the tools. He thought this was pretty cool too. So I was thinking, well this isn't going to be that bad. Well when it came time to do the cleaning, he screamed. I had to hold his hands down so he would grab the hygentist's hands. Then when she was flossing his teeth, he kept biting her fingers. Poor lady! After she was done he got to pick put a special prize and he picked out a ball.

Then the dentist came over and said Caeden's teeth looked great and to keep up the good work with him. I asked him about the nuk he still has and he said it is better to get rid of it sooner, than later. He then got his picture taken with the dentist and we called it a day.

When we got to the car, Caeden kept saying "mom, that was fun." So hopefully next time will be a little bit better!

Sounds like it went OK...at least you got that far before he decided it was no good! Jackson didn't even make it to the cleaning step...we had to quit! I hope you liked the place, or you'll never ask for my advice again!
