Open Wide!

JD had his very first dentist appointment this morning, and let me just tell you that he was treated like a celebrity! What a great dentist's office!! All of the staff just loved him and even made special visits to the exam room to say hello to him. After he was finished with his check-up, he got to pick a toy from the prize box, and of course he picked a ball! He was then given 3 free passes to play putt-putt golf, and finally they took his picture to send home with us and had the dentist sign it.

He loved the special sunglasses that they gave him so that the dentist's light wouldn't be too bright in his eyes during the exam.

He will be going back for his first cleaning soon, so today was just a "happy" visit as they call it at his dentist's office. He was a little too nervous to have the cleaning done today. As soon as she started showing him "Mr. Thirsty" and her other cleaning instruments, he suddenly started asking, "Are you going to hurt me?" The hygenist assured him that she wouldn't, but she could see that he was not quite ready, so we decided to postpone the cleaning.

He had a great first experience though, so hopefully when we return for the cleaning, he'll be more at ease.

I am happy to report that he has perfectly healthy teeth! :)
