Emma Kate's First Dentist Visit
This morning, I took Emma Kate to the dentist for her first check-up & cleaning. We had talked about it leading up to today & I was hopeful that she wouldn't be frightened or upset when they were in her mouth. I'm so happy to report that she did wonderfully!! Couldn't have been a better 1st visit. They had a really fun game room to wait in. Then such a nice & sweet dental hygienist, Kate to show EK all the tools & make her comfortable. EK watched & listened so well to directions. She got her teeth counted, cleaned, & flossed. They do a rating for each patient & Emma Kate got a 100%! Yay! Dr. Ryan said parents should pat themselves on the back as well since we're the ones majority doing the routine of brushing. Overall, such a great visit! And next time we'll see if EK has all her teeth in (still hasn't gotten her 2 year molars yet...at almost 3 years old! Sorry EK that's Mommy's fault you're a slow teether. It's hereditary. :( )
The 100% club!! (her pic is the bottom middle one)

24Wow! EK’s teeth are all in perfect condition. With proper guidance, kids will develop the habit of good oral hygiene. Also, EK was so brave. I can’t see any hint of tears or fear while she was undergoing the check-up and cleaning! Good job mom and dad!

Way to go, Emma! She is such a brave little girl! I remember when I first took my daughter to her dentist for a check-up. She was a little afraid, but my wife and I told her that everything will be alright. We even brought her favorite stuff toy to make her feel comfortable. It was a great help, as she was holding her teddy all throughout the procedure. And yes, we gave her a treat after the dental visit! (Ted Grimmer)
ReplyDeleteShe might have enjoyed the waiting room that’s why she forgot to be afraid of the check up. Haha! Anyway, I can clearly see on your pics that she enjoyed her first visit to the dentist. I just hope my little angel will feel the same way on Sunday. Fingers crossed. :)
