First Dental Appointment!



Wow!! I was so anxious all day, awaiting his appointment! I felt awful, knowing I was going to take him some where I knew he would scream and not understand what or why I was doing this to him. I had been telling him all day, "Now, we are going to the dentist today and she is going to look at your teeth, count them, brush them and paint them with tooth vitamins and tell you how great they look." He would just look at me, smile and say, "Den," and point to his teeth.


My mother came for the adventure also (daddy had to work). When we got there he loved it! I knew he would because the whole left wall is a big wooden house with shadow boxes and flowers outside. He walked over and smelled them, like he does my flowers. It was so cute. He loved playing in the house, it even had a kitchen like his one at home and a table! Once we were called back he was upset because he had to leave the house but there were even more fun toys in the back! There were no walls in the office, all open bay which is great! You can see everything! It's great they encourage and want the parents back there.


When it was his turn the whole mood changed. He liked Dr. Kugar when they met playing by the toys but now this was scary stuff and boy did he let us know. I have not heard him scream that loud since the day he was born! She was fast and pleasant though! She did exactly what I told him, it took all of maybe 10 min and I held him while his head was in her lap. The longest 10 min. of my dad and his! When she was finished, he was all smiles and back to the toys! Dr. Kugar only sees children which is great and you could tell. I could not have asked for a better dentist! Everything looked great and we will return in 6 months!I am so glad we took him! He sure loves to brush and to let us brush which is great!
