Dora paste & Hannah Montana gloss

Today the girls had dentist appointments. While I was putting Abigail's hair up, we were talking about going and she said, "But we already went there once". That time Anna did great, but it was pretty traumatizing for Abigail and all the dentist got to do was count her teeth. It's no wonder the dentist wore ear plugs! But TODAY they were EXCELLENT! The new dentist and assistant were very patient, and were absolutely amazing with kids! The girls got to see the pictures of their teeth, and were given choices between Dora paste, (which Anna picked) princess paste, or Hannah Montana paste (which Abigail preferred). All three choices were good ole light brown! (They didn't know the difference, and enjoyed having a say so!) The only time Abigail whimpered in fear was when they used the tube to suck out the paste/water. After I got up in the chair and had Anna lay back on my lap, she did GREAT too! The dentist was so impressed with her! He said typically with 3 year olds, all he can do is count their teeth. He never is able to get films, clean them and do the fluoride treatment! They each got to pick out Hannah Montana gloss and enjoyed having their teeth "painted". We were thrilled to have a positive dental experience this time!
