Mason had a dental appointment today! He did pretty good too! Thanks to Sandy (RDH) we got x-rays (the bite-wing kind that are really hard to get on 3 year olds!), scaling and polishing, fluoride treatment AND the Dr. exam! He was a little "squirmy" but what 3 yr. old boy isn't? :)
Now for some dumb reason I scheduled his appointment on a Thursday. (I usually watch Lindsey's kiddos then which means I have 4 kids for the day.) Thanks to my sister Maddy I didn't have to have four little kids at the dentist (she graciously came over and watched Sydney and Noah). I decided to take Colter since I thought he might like to see Mason in the dental chair. (It always helps kids to see others they know at the Dr. or dentist to help them relate or get used to the situation!) Plus Colter is very well behaved so I wasn't worried about him.
Here the boys are patiently waiting in the waiting area! Zoned into the Alvin and the chipmunks!
"Mr. slurpy!" Mason LOVED playing with the suction!
The dental exam! Dr. Nia is such a great dentist! (And I should know after 10 years working with him!)
Ok! On the way home the boys were thirsty in the car so... of course I gave them both their drinks! STUPID Shelly! Mason totally had a fluoirde treatment and wasn't supposed to have water for 30 mins! How long have I been a hygienist and giving fluorides? I can't believe I did that!
I can't believe how big your boys are getting! They are soooo cute.

Awh what a big boy! I need to take Dylan to the dentist. I think it's been about 2 yrs, I know...I'm so bad!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Hallie hasn't yet let me clean her teeth, or have anyone take x-rays on her....so...good job Mason! Funny that you gave him a drink! Funny how we forget things when it's OUR kids!
ReplyDeletelove it! what brave boys!:)
ReplyDeleteMason looks soooo cute in the dental chair. I'm so proud of him! Thank you for taking Colter. He is really excited to visit the dentist now!
ReplyDeleteMommy's little boy! He does look awfully cute in the dental chair!
ReplyDeleteThe drink thing is PROOF that you are a Mom First - and a hygenist Second! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteOh he's so cute! Such a good patient too. Chase hasn't been to the dentist yet and I really need to set him up an appointment. I doubt it will go as smoothly as Mason's did though. I love his outfit too! Such a handsome little guy. So a question for the hygienist. At what age should you start taking your kids to the dentist regularly? I'm pretty sure Chase is past due, but for Landon's sake when should he start. Just thought I'd ask!
ReplyDeleteYour boys are getting soooo big. It has been too long. They are adorable!
