How is my boy so grown up? Admittedly, he should have visited the dentist about a year ago, but I was so nervous about it that it just kept getting put off. Frankly, I'm super thankful that we waited. Adam has changed so much in the last year that I don't think his first visit would have gone nearly as well as it did had we done it a year ago.
Adam checking out his chair. The theme of this pediatric dentist's office is "fish," which Adam was a fan of.
The dentist was great, giving Adam plenty of time to prepare for what was to come. Here he is playing a game with Adam and squirting the water into his mouth. Adam thought this was really fun.
We took a couple of time outs to let Adam count the fish on the wall, but he willingly climbed back in the chair after each time. Couldn't believe he let the hygienist do all the cleaning and even rinse his mouth - opened nice and wide saying "Ahhhh" every single time. At one point during the cleaning, Adam smacked his lips and said "Nummy!" Not sure what flavor it was, but clearly Adam was a fan. :) So proud of him!

It's important to visit your dentist every 6 months to make sure you're taking good care of your teeth and that your teeth and gums are healthy.
