FIRST TRIP TO THE DENTIST

When I assisted I would think all the time...I can't believe that people just don't come in for their check-ups...I know they have insurance...if they would just come in every 6 mo. like they are suppose to we could catch the problem when it was small....blah blah blah. Here I am almost 4 years later and I haven't seen the dentist. I kept blaming it on moving and that I wanted a good dentist because I know what good work looks like.....but NO MORE EXCUSES!
This was Justins first time and knowing him and his personality I totally prepped him for it. We check out kids books from the library and I told him everything to expect...squirty water, mouth vacuum, gloves, masks, spinning toothbrush ect. (just for extra measure we bribed him with ice cream on the way there)
I WAS SO PROUD OF HIM!!! A little shaky at first but he did GREAT! He even let them take x-rays. Far from what I had pictured (Justins not much for people he doesn't know... well, sometimes not even much for people he does know.. but he has definitely gotten better).

And Yes! I am that type of Mom...you know...the one who takes her camera to the dentist!

And Yes, I realized how much I missed what I use to do. Especially when I found myself walking real slow by the other rooms to see what they were doing, wanting to go through the drawers, and wishing I could clean Justins teeth my self. But I refrained from being the I-use-to-do-this-know-it-all type. Although I did peek at our X-rays when no one was in the room.
