I'm in shock.
Cayden had his dentist appointment today. We've tried having our dentist to see him but he REFUSED! So I thought we'd try a Pediatric Dentist. To say I was nervous would be a total understatement. My stomach had butterflies - to the max!
The waiting room was so cool. There was a big tree and inside the tree was like a play kitchen and a TV with I think a play station hooked up to it. Cayden loved it and didn't want to leave. I had to drag him out. Great start right? Yeah.
We went back to get "pictures of his teeth". I was like oh great here it comes. But he sat there and let the assistant put the lead vest on him. and he bit down on all the things. Gagged a bit but he did it. I was SO proud of him. I couldn't keep the goofy smile off my face.
Then we went to the seat. They had Tangled playing on the TV in the CEILING. Is it weird that I find that so cool?? they even had these wireless earphones so he can hear it. Then the assistant flossed (who knew we needed to do that - ha!) and polished his teeth. I'm shocked he let her do that. He gagged and kind of threw up when she put the fluoride foam on his teeth. He was a little weirded out by the sucker thing.
And then the Dentist came over. Yep, he has a cavity in between his front two top teeth. He's going to need it fixed since he'll have his front teeth for a while.
oh and Cayden has VERY crowded teeth. I saw his adult teeth in the x-ray and MAN they are going to be messed up. They suggested we will be doing early treatment for them. yay...... haha but I want my kids to have straight teeth.
Well now I'm off to floss his teeth. Ha! I will do it tomorrow since they got it pretty good today. :)
SO proud of my little boy.

Yeah the dentist is scary! Carter went last month at 19 months old, and they just basically glanced inside his mouth. Flouride rinse is important, keep it up girlie!:)
My Caedyn had cavities too w/ her first visist - and we were reminded we need to floss. I find it's much easier to floss with the kind that's on sticks (instead of just loose floss - like the reach brand thingies). Much easier to navigate in a little mouth! :)
