At our pediatrician's urging, I scheduled Jackson his first dental check-up. We've been talking about it for about a week and at the word "dentist", he points to his pearly whites & starts jabbering about his "teef".
We could not have had a better visit... J willingly sat in the exam chair and opened his mouth while they cleaned, inspected & painted fluoride on his little teeth. No need for bribes - I was prepared to throw out a promise for Chic-fil-a if needed - or even a hand to hold. He proudly selected a hot pink (???) bouncy ball from the prize bucket after his exam and gave Dr. Brian a fist bump AND a high five on the way out. I hope this bravery continues has gets older & less naive about how much fun the dentist really is!
