My First Trip to the Dentist

Today was my first trip to the dentist. Mommy figured that because I have already had so many doctor's appointments in my short life, that I would do okay. But what Mommy didn't realize, is that nobody, even little tykes like me, don't ever really want to go to the dentist.



There were three things I had to do during this appoinment. Take pictures of my teeth, clean my teeth and then have the dentist see me. I cried at all points, but fortunately, Isabel (in the center column) made the picture taking fun and even let me press the picture button; Vanessa made the teeth cleaning part fun (she's with me in the first column); and Dr. Brooks made the overall visit fun by counting my teeth and using a cool light to look in my mouth. None of them made it fun enough for me to lay down in the chair for them do any part of their jobs, but they did let me stand up. I have to go back every six months, so my next time will be in January. Maybe next time I won't be so scared.
