A fun trip to the dentist

Is that an oxymoron?  Not necessarily.  Emily had her first dentist appointment today.  I was feeling bad for putting it off for so long, but I'm really glad I waited because she was wonderful, and I'm pretty sure that would not have been the case even three months ago.  Emily hopped right up in the chair and opened her mouth before they even told her what to do.  The hygienist was great.  Emily got to look at and feel all the different instruments she used.  Then Emily calmly let the hygienist polish and rinse her teeth and didn't even flinch about the vacuum.  She also got a fluoride treatment.  Of course, she was quite distracted with watching IPTV the whole time.  The dentist said her teeth look great and are nicely spaced, which means plenty of room for permanent teeth to come in nice and straight. :o)  Emily was very excited about the fancy new toothbrush she received.  I'm relieved that she did so well and for a great report!

Glad it went so well. Wendell has been there a few times and still won't let them do much. Oh well.. it'll come. Great job Emily!

Super! We are probably looking at braces for Mieke. Hers are crowded and she has a huge overbite. Sigh.
