Today was Angela's first visit to the Dentist. Which means that mom and dad also got to visit the dentist, not something we are good at, but I guess will get better because she will need to have visits. She did amazing! She laid back in the chair, kept her mouth open and listened to their instructions. It was pretty funny, her tounge would follow the little mirror as she moved it around in her mouth. I just laughed. Sometimes she would tense up, especially when they pulled out the poky tools, I would just hold her hand and she would relax. Both the hygeniest and the Dentist said she was one of the best 3-year olds they've had. I would have to agree seeing how she behaved. Her checkup was perfect, good strong teeth, and NO CAVITIES - that is the best part. Hey - did you know that they now paint on the flouride - no trays that make you gag! I was amazed, and they said it tastes like watermelon. She could eat and drink immediately afterward too. I think I might do flouride if they do that for adults.
However, mom has a 3-hour appointment in a week, she has been putting off 6 crowns for 5 years, and finally decided to start. Yep, my molars have big huge cavities. I got them on my first dentist visit, and had none since, but they have taken a toll on my teeth. P.S. don't forget to floss.
