First Dentist Visit

So, we like our dentist, and thought we would try Mackenzie out there since she prefers to brush her own teeth (probably not all that well) and is getting old enough to start going.  Not such a great idea I think....she was into the waiting room and even sat in the chair for the first 5 minutes to learn what the tooth brush thingy looked like, and let the lady count her teeth.  She tried out the mouth suction thing reluctantly, and things quickly turned at that point.  She was supposed to get her teeth cleaned and then have the dentist come take a look, but that didn't quite happen.  I forcefully held her mouth open while she cried throughout the office so the dentist could take a look, but that's about all that happened from there.  She hopefully wasn't permanently traumatized, but she was very stubbornly telling us she wasn't into the dentist visit through the tears.  Jayson was frozen while he watched I think, so no crying pictures available!

  1. Sorry to hear the visit didn't go well- I'm thankful both my kids think it's "neat!" I'd love to hear what dentist YOU go to that you like, however! :)
