Bo's First Dentist Appointment

The time came for Bo's first dentist appointment and Arabelle's regular appointment. Arabelle was scheduled to go first, but 'let' Bo go first. He was a bit hesitant, but once the dental hygenist said he could sit in my lap, he was fine. I actually enjoyed laying back and holding Bo for a bit!

They both did really well. Had their teeth cleaned and flossed, then examined by the dentist and got a good report! Apparently I fell down on the job this morning though because NEITHER of them brushed their teeth after breakfast. Of all times for me to not have them brush. Oops!


We have the SWEETEST hygenist and she filled their bag with so many goodies....toothbrushes, toothpaste, chapstick, gum, crayons, coloring book, kid's flossers, stickers, temporary tatoos, and they picked a prize out of the prize drawer.

Arabelle also got a little treasure chest box to put her tooth in once it falls out. It's pretty loose, so it won't be long now!

And the Capt. America shield had to come with us. I generally don't let him take it out (because he can be dangerous with it, just ask my nose), but since it was a special thing, he took it.

And what first dentist appointment isn't complete without a sugar doughnut afterwards???? Yes, they brushed their teeth before bed tonight. :)

Mamaw took the day off work and kept Mae for me and it was SO nice to focus on the big ones and spoil them just a bit.I don't think Mamaw minded having to keep Mae a bit either. :)

  1. It's nice to reward your kids after doing great at their dental appointment. The success, in return, gives any parents that pleasant feeling and assurance that they're doing well in taking care of their children's dental health as well. Congratulations on his successful first dental visit! Hope we'll get to see updates on his next visit! :)

  2. Alot of people have fears of going to the dentist and I agree the reward would help remove that barrier. They are here to help.

  3. Aww, you guys look too cute all huddled up in that chair. Bo's first time was a success, I presume? Gaining the kid's trust is a must for every dentist so that the kid will be comfortable with them. How is he now? I commend your diligence in taking time to visit the dentist with your kids! Good day! :)

  4. Looks like it was a fun trip. There is no reason for a trip to a dentist to be an ordeal, much less a chore. It is an operation, plain and simple. What it can also be, is a relief in any manner or way.

  5. Great picturesmum. First visit for any child can be nerve racking, but it seems Bo passed it with flying colors. Thought dental office is smart by providing goodies to make the visit as best as possible.

  6. I will always remember the human touch provided by the dentist, the staff also was just the best. He never fails to follow up with me after treatment.

  7. Great job Bo and Arabeur. Boy have things changed since we first went to the dentist. Now you go to specialize office that deals with kids. They have all sorts of kids stuff to make them feel comfortable - nice colours, toys, videos.... They use props like sun glasses, flavoured tooth paste,.. and the staff are trained to deal with kids. And of course the results are much better. Kids are more open to the dentist and oral hygiene.

  10. Thanks dear for your suggestion!! I generally prefer dentist Torrance because they are very trained and experienced. Recently I have taken root canal treatment from him, and now everything is fine and I am very happy.
