First Trip to the Dentist - Sept. 8th, 2009

Abby had her first visit to the dentist on Sept. 8th this year. I was a little disappointed when they actually did my cleaning and exam simultaneously with hers.... I had wanted to be there with her and take a picture of her in the chair with the cute little blue paper towel thing they always clip around your neck, etc. However, we were only separated by the large cabinet that houses the x-ray machine, so I could hear everything she and the hygienist discussed. It was so cute to hear her be so excited and brave while they polished and cleaned her teeth. She even did good with the vacuum (which is actually MY least favorite part of the dentist!!). She was very excited about her little packet of goodies that Dr. Zirker gave her - it included a new Cinderella brush, a small hour-glass timer, a thing of chapstick, and some floss. She actually WANTS to brush now, which is quite a change! The only downside to the entire visit: Dr. Zirker says we should probably start saving our pennies....some one will most likely need braces!! Ugh.......
