The Dentist

I took Noah to the dentist for the first time yesterday. I was nervous, really nervous, to how he was going to behave, but I had absolutely no reason. Well, it wasn't a completely perfect trip from start to finish, but all in all he did an amazing job. I talked to him about going to the dentist for an entire week and he got to the point where he was excited to go...really! But once we got there he kept saying "I'm scared...I'm scared of the dentist", but then I realized that he was just saying it to say it. You should have seen the smile behind the words...it was kind of cute. Well, they called him back and he let them take pictures of his teeth without a fuss, then he let them clean his teeth and he did everything that he was asked to do. I think he was mostly happy because he got to watch his favorite show, Finding Nemo, the entire time.

The Results:

NO CAVITIES {yay}

The dentist said that he has beautiful teeth, but he is bound to have braces {sniff, sniff}. I knew this, Doug knew this...our children are all bound to have a mess in their mouth thanks to their parents...you're welcome! Oh well, there's nothing we can do about that now. All I care about right now is that he has nice, healthy teeth, and he does. That puts a big smile on Mommy's face :).

I'm just so thankful that the entire experience was a good one for Noah. Until next time...in 6 months!

Watching his movie while he gets his teeth cleaned.
Check out those pearly whites :). I just love this boy...he's the best!
