we brought evie to the dentist for the first time today. at her 2.5 year appointment her doctor said we should have already brought her, so i wanted to get it done before we hit that three year appointment. i figured it would be like when i call for an appointment and there's a two month lead time, but it turned out they had availability this weekend. on a saturday. hard to believe.
i talked to evie a little about the dentist being a tooth doctor who was going to look at her teeth and clean away all the sugar bugs. she appeared to pay zero attention. then when we got there and the hygienist walked towards us in the lobby, she opened her mouth wide and said ahh, pointing towards her teeth. so i guess she was listening after all.
no cavities, good advice on flossing and brushing from the dentist, then the cleaning. really? you're going to try to clean her teeth? ok, good luck...
she was a champ. kept her mouth opened, didn't complain, just let them do the job. the only concession, a pair of sunglasses to cut down on the exam light.
as we were leaving the dentist stopped us to ask us how we'd prepared her because they don't have five year olds who are that good, and certainly not two year olds. i wish i could take credit for prepping her, but it was all her.
maybe i'll tell her that i'm a dentist.
