We finally took the girls to their first dentists' appointments. I know, I know, what took so long? Their dad is a dentist after all. We never made the time for it is what it comes down to. Going to the dental school was quite an ordeal and we just never did it.
Clara looked so tiny in the chair. They didn't get x-rays of her because she couldn't hold her mouth still. She did good getting her teeth cleaned, though. Unfortunately, she has a cavity! Sam was kind of embarrassed that she has a cavity. I had lots of cavities in my baby teeth though, so maybe it's just genetics.
Abby also did great! She was shy, as usual, but she did whatever they asked her.
They loved getting new toothbrushes and picking out stickers. Now we just have to figure out how we're going to get wiggly Clara's cavity filled!

ReplyDeleteClara and Abby did great on their dental appointment. You won't be having problems in the future because they have shown that they really like it at the dentist's. If only other children were like your daughters, then parents would have it easier. Hehe! There are times when they really need to convince their kids to visit the dentist. Luckily, you didn't have to win them over. :)

Awww, Clara and Abby look adorable! I'm glad that their visit went well. How did Clara deal with finding out she had a cavity? I'm sure she and Abby have since become more determined to keep their teeth clean and healthy since this visit!

I'm sure you didn't have any trouble with their dental visit due to the fact that it was their father who treated them. Kids will always trust their parents in situations like this. Hehe! Congratulations on their first visit! It's been months though. I wonder if they've had another follow up treatment, especially for Clara's cavity. Please update me. Thanks! :)
