Trip to the dentist

The girls had a dentist appointment today. Makenna was so excited to go! Jordyn didn't understand:)
This was the first time that Makenna didn't mind them taking x-rays. She didn't want anything to do with it last year. She also let the dentist check out her teeth with no problem. I'm very proud of my big girl! Unfortunately, she has two cavities because her teeth are so close and we haven't been good about flossing:( She has to go back to get them fixed and while they are at it, she will get a cleaning. She has to get some medicine to make her sleepy beforehand and then some laughing gas. I know she will do well but it still makes me a little worried!

Jordyn was excited to sit in the chair like her sister but wasn't as enthused when the dentist wanted to get into her mouth. She wasn't having it:) She had to sit in her Daddy's lap with her head in the dentist's lap while he checked her teeth. She cried but ended up doing ok.

They both were more excited about getting a goody bag. Makenna remembered that part from last time....(she has a great memory:)

Makenna funnies

I took Makenna to the dentist today for her annual checkup. The nurse tried to see if she would take x-rays. She got up to the point of putting that thing (don't know what it's called;) in her mouth. The lady that was putting it in her mouth had gloves on. Makenna wouldn't bite down and later she told me that she didn't want to eat a rubber glove;)

First trip to the dentist

Makenna went to the dentist for the first time today. (She's had a lot of firsts lately) I figured it was time to get her checked out now that she is three. Little did I know that she should have gone by one year old. Personally, I think that is a little young unless you can tell that there are problems but that is just me;) Anyway, we were trying to hype it up and saying she GETS to go to the dentist! It was a good first experience though. They had tons of toys and things in the waiting room so she ran back and forth trying everything until they called us back. We told her before we got there that she would have to open her mouth wide but when the dentist asked her to open up, she had her teeth clenched. It took awhile but she finally opened up wide. He said that she has great teeth, no cavities and everything is lined up perfectly. Yay!! And of course she got to pick out a toy in the toy box! She doesn't have to be back for a year when she gets x-rays and a cleaning. Phew! I'm so glad that went well. You just never know with a three year old;)
