Keagan had his first dental appointment today. The dentist office was awesome - with a surf shack in the waiting room and surfboards and a beach scene in the exam area. Despite Mommy's fears he would scream the entire way through it, Keagan was a champ.
He let the dental assistant brush and floss his teeth - then let the dentist brush his teeth and paint on a fluoride protection thing.
Of course - it didn't hurt that the assistant bribed him with suckers at the beginning of the appointment. It went amazingly well - and we'll head back in 6 months.
That wasn't quite soon enough for Keagan. He informed me on the way home from daycare that he wanted to go to the dentist RIGHT NOW!
He's also very interested in brushing his teeth (but mostly to suck the new toothpaste off his new toothbrush).
We'll see how long his dental appreciation actually lasts.
Awesome! Sounds like a good dentist. I take it that this wasn't your dentist?
