The Dugorepec Family goes to the Dentist.
July 31st - Bella & Mommy get to go to the dentist for a check-up and a teeth cleaning. Since Mommy's only 8 weeks away from delivery, the cleaning portion couldn't happen. Instead, Mommy started getting dizzy, hot, feeling like throwing up and going through some major contractions. Needless to say, Mommy's routine was stopped immediately. However, this was Bella's first time at the Dentist.
Bella wasn't so sure about sitting in the dental chair or having anyone work on her. Within a few minutes, the dentist was on her good side and was able to help her brush her teeth and do a fluoride treatment. She didn't get to have her teeth polished because she was a little scared but after the hygienist gave her a new toothbrush, she was more willing to cooperate.
Dr. Toi (Mommy's dentist as a child too) counted Bella's teeth and she has 10 on top and 10 on the bottom.
As we were leaving the dentist office, Bella tells me: "Mommy, can we go back to the Dentist tomorrow? That was fun!"
August 2nd - Lexie and Daddy go to the dentist today. Daddy went first and Lexie got to watch him get his teeth counted, talk with Dr. Toi and then get his teeth cleaned by the hygienist. While Daddy was finishing up, Lexie met with Dr. Toi who gave her a quick check-up and even took x-rays. She's was so good and was so easy to work with.
She headed to the hygienist chair just afterwards and was great. She got her teeth polished, a fluoride treatment and even learned how to floss her teeth with the "string." (We use the dental picks at home since they're easier to hold.) Afterwards she was able to pick out a toothbrush and a few goodies from the toy basket - just like Bella.
The great news is = the kids LOVE the dentist and want to go back tomorrow. How many kids do you know who cry to GO to the dentist? :)
