Garrett went to the dentist for the first time yesterday. We waited until Lucy was about 2 to take her as well. I know they recommend they go earlier but I just don't really think it is all that important if there isn't a problem. Garrett was pretty excited to go and had a fun time playing in the waiting room. When it was our turn to go back they wanted to weigh him and he didn't want to stand on the scale at all. We were a little worried that they may not be able to do much, he didn't even want to sit in the chair. Once the Dr came to look at his teeth they used the knee to knee method which they used with Lucy when she was younger and Garrett did so great. He let the Dr look at his teeth, brush them really well and apply a fouride treatment. He didn't seem nervous at all. The Dr said he has really healthy teeth and everything looked really good. I am glad that he has healthy teeth! I think the worst part of the apopintment for Garrett was waiting 30 minutes to eat/drink after the flouride treatment.
He got a new toothbrush and some fun cars stickers along with a dentist rubber duck. He loves his rubber duck! He was pretty excited about all his fun things the dentist gave him. Lucy was a little jealous that she didn't get to go to the dentist but she was happy to know her appointment is in a couple of weeks.
