Look Mom, No Cavities!!

I took the day off to take Sarah to her "first" dentist appointment and I was so nervous that she would not do good. Well, let me tell you...she proved me wrong. The hygienist and the dentist even commented on how well she did and how impressed they were with her being a good dental patient.

Sarah got her teeth cleaned, flossed, polished, and x-rayed. Sarah even let them put fluoride on her teeth without a fuss.

When they were ready to do x-rays, Sarah and the hygienist had to go into another room. The hygienist looked at me and said, "I am going to try to get one x-ray of her teeth, but she may not let me in her mouth to even get one...we will see." The hygienist came back with FOUR x-rays. And again, she commented on how very impressed she was with Sarah. She even said,"I hope all of my patients for today are this good."

Sarah has no cavities, 8 permanent teeth under her baby teeth, and she got a B for her brushing grade. Below are pictures from our day...

Sarah listening to the hygienist and looking at all of her "tools"...

Sarah relaxing (getting her teeth cleaned) and watching the Aristocats movie on the ceiling...putting the TV on the ceiling is genius I tell you... They even have cool eye wear so that the light will not shine in the kids eyes. It also makes them look really cool. hee hee :)


Picking out her toy from the treasure chest and showing off her ladybug ring...


As we were checking out, Sarah said (very loudly), "Where are the suckers?" Nice...I then proceeded to whisper in her ear that the dentist didn't have suckers, but that I would get her one later...She had to settle for a balloon...
The we went to lunch...
Then we headed home for naps...
After nap, we are headed to get my hair cut...What a fun Girl's day out!
