avery had her first dentist visit today....and she loved it. the place was really cool, very child friendly and kind of made me want to go there. but i must give credit where credit is due - avery was really big. there was no hesitation about getting on the table, she opened her mouth wide, chose her flavor of toothpaste (strawberry), let them scrape her teeth, brush, floss, suction...in fact, she was so laid back about it, the tech asked me "are you sure this is her first visit to the dentist?" she even did a great job with her xrays! i was very proud of her.
a few things i liked about their office -
- it was decorated in bright colors...as you'll see, avery laid on padded table, no dental chairs here.
- the technician encouraged her and talked her through every step...even let her hold the toothbrush, the suction and the water.
- they get prizes, goody bags and a tshirt. i felt a little like we were at a carnival.
- the dentist was great with kids, and adults. he showed me her xrays and we looked at the positioning of her permanent teeth, he explained how they lined up, when they should come through. we talked about some preventative things AND told me how impressed he was with her first visit, i guess meaning how she handled it. he probably thought i was the crazy mom with the camera. an overall great experience and i would recommend his practice to all my friends.
check out the crossed feet the hands behind her head.

WOW, I am so proud. Now, that's a cool office! I wished I had worked in an office like that with movies on the ceiling. Those 30 yrs. would have passed by quicker.
That is great! Maddox goes back to the dentist this month and I am already praying that he does as well as he has in the past.
Don't you think it takes some extra special people to work at a pediatric dentist?? The patience these people must have... I honestly don't know how they do it!! Don't you know they really appreciate having a sweet girl like Avery come in? It has to make their day much more pleasant :-)
So glad the visit went well!!
i love them! that is where the boys go too!
good job avery!!
why can't my dentist have a movie on the ceiling...that is so smart!
Is that Dr. Baker???
