Anna at the Dentist

I was so excited to take Anna to her first dental appointment ever today.  And as expected, she was totally chill for all of the check up.  Would not crack a smile for any of the hygienists no matter how much they tried, but still, totally chill for the important part - the teeth cleaning.


Dr. Ham spotted those canine teeth that are half in already and she says those two-year molars will be coming in pretty soon, too, as the gums in the back are already looking red and inflamed. Guess I'll load up on Children's Tylenol now - she's quite the irritable and cranky teether, you know.  Now that I think about it - I better grab a bottle of Tylenol for me, too.  :)

 

Once we got alone outside the office, she was willing to grin.  Here she is wearing her Cavity Free Club ribbon and saying "Teeth" instead of Cheese.  


Way to go, Big Girl!  Next up, two year check up later this week....and multiple shots.  Yikes!

oh my word...not a fight at all. I'm a little jealous. Why did I get two terrible dental patients for children. I DREAD taking them to the dentist! Shoo-eee. Consider yourself a VERY lucky mommy!

What a totaly sweetie. Not to scare you but Jacob did awesome at 2 years and then was a nightmare every visit after until just this past visit. I'm praying for continued chillness from here on out.

Me, too. With Noah it's been smooth sailing, so I'll cross my fingers for the Noah version over the Jacob. :)
