On Thursday, April 30th I ventured to the dentist for my cleaning and the kids' "fun visit". I took my sister, Janet and neice, Samantha along to help with crowd control. Malachi loved being there. He climbed into the chair and rode it all the way up. Do you know how high dental chairs go??? I was uncomfortably close to the ceiling! He also got to play with the spinning tooth brush and loved every second of it. He started moving it around his whole face! Very cute! Malachi's teeth look great but he does have a cross bite meaning that when he puts his top and bottom teeth together, his bottom front teeth don't all go behind his top front teeth. Half go in front and half go in back. It's nothing to worry about for now. We'll see how his adult teeth come in.
Madelynn also did a fabulous job! She had no hesitations at all. She let our dental hygentist look at her teeth and even clean them a little bit. She has some staining on the back side of her bottom front teeth so our dental hygenist brushed them a little bit. Maddie didn't mind at all and loved the bubble gum flavor tooth paste. Unfortunately the staining didn't come off, but Maddie will have a real dental visit in November and we'll try some more scrubbing to remove it. We didn't want to tramatize her on the very first visit.
Aiden didn't like the visit at all. He was perfectly happy watching but wanted nothing to do with the chair or anything else. We'll try again in November. Each of the kids got a brand new tooth brush and a sticker so they were happy in the end. We all go back again in November for real visits and hopefully Aiden will be more interested. Next time I'll take his favorite blanket!
