Open Wide

We've read Sponge Bob Square Pants' "Look, No Cavities; a Visit to the Dentist", and he accompanied me to my cleaning appointment on Monday, so Owen was prepared for his first dental visit today. He did great and as he'll tell you, he was very brave!


His hygienist, Traci, was wonderful. She explained each instrument she'd be using and let Owen see how the brush felt on his fingernail ("a little ticklish"). He picked strawberry flavored toothpaste and thought the suction tube was cool.


Game face - and blacked out sunglasses to ward off the bright overhead light - on.


Traci thought it was so cute that he held onto her arm while she was doing the cleaning. He didn't even squirm while she flossed his teeth.


Dr. Davies said everything looked great - no cavities!


They all adored him - I think he was the rock star of the dental office today!

P.S. I didn't have any cavities either and only squirmed a little during the flossing.

What a wonderful first dentist experience. The office could use the pictures as an advertisement...

You should have let Owen photograph your visit too, he's getting pretty good with a camera.

Love to all and keep 'smiling',
