First Trip to the Dentist

So knowing how uncooperative Austin is at the doctor's office I was a little nervous to see how this trip would go. It was a relief to see that his Nursery teacher would be his hygienist and she was great with him. He sat on my lap while she showed him all of her "cool" tools like the one that squirts out water, the one that sucks up the water, and the one that brushes the teeth. She brushed Austin's fingernails and he was having a great time until she went for the mouth. He only gave her about 2 seconds on his teeth and then he was finished with that. Oh well, I figured as much. But he did get a stretchy frog and lizard and a Spiderman sticker so the visit was a success to him. I actually made this trip because I noticed a discolored spot on one of his back teeth and sure enough it is a cavity. So we will be making a trip back and Austin will have to be sedated. Should be fun :)

That is about how Brady reacts at the dentist. The last time we took him he finally let them brush his teeth, but it took A LOT of talking him into it!!! Of course, he had a couple cavities and so we took him back he had to be sedated so they could fix his teeth. It sounds worse than it is to have them sedated. They just fall asleep and by the time they wake up their teeth are all fixed! They are just REALLY tired the rest of the day! :) Good luck!
