Smile!
Ava’s finally had her first dentist appointment. She did awesome!!
We started talking about this visit early in the week – mostly during bathtime, since that’s when we brush her teeth. We talked about opening her mouth wide so the dentist could clean her teeth and about taking pictures of her teeth. By the time the Friday of her appointment rolled around, she was really excited to go!
Ava did a great job with the x-rays, although she had sort of a tough time with one side. She didn’t show any signs of being nervous and followed all the technicians directions really well. She liked the cleaning part and did a great job when the dentist checked her teeth.
The report on her teeth was great…she’s got a perfect smile, but we sort of knew that already. So grateful for such a positive first dental experience. In fact, ever since, when we brush her teeth at night, she says, “Just like at the dentist!” I think we’re both looking forward to her next visit!
