Kyra went to the dentist today. This was her 3rd time to go. Boy has she come a long way since a year ago. The first time she went, she didn't let them do anything to her, so it was more or less just a "get familiar" visit. Then I took her last July and I sat on the chair and she sat on my lap and let them clean her teeth. Today, she sat on the chair all by herself and watched a movie with the special glasses that they have (which ROCK!) and let them clean away! She chose chocolate flavored fluoride because chocolate is her favorite. LOL! Then she even let them do x-rays! I was blown away by how well behaved she was. We're happy to report that she has no cavities! Her 6 year molars are under the gums and her permanent teeth are too! That was cool to see. The bad news is that she's destined for braces just like her mommy was. *sigh*
I was so proud of my big girl today.

Tell her that when we were kids all we had was nasty, adult flouride. None of the fun, flavored stuff- and when they did finally invent flavors, all they had was bubble gum. I still don't understand why bubble gum is the official first flavor for everything and why they try to make medicinal things taste like it. It just tastes like you took medicine while you were chewing gum.
This dentist office ROCKS! They must have had a designer come in and paint all of the walls. On the wall, they have strawberries, cherries, marshmellows, bubble gum, mint, grapes, and chocolate. So the hygenist just tells the kids to pick a flavor from the wall. Pretty cool, huh?
Oh, the best part is that we have dental insurance, so cleanings are no charge every 6 months. SWEET!
Its all about getting a good kid dentist, I swear...glad y'all found one!
I always choose bubble gum. The other choices were fruit flavors.
Yay, Kyra!
