Will had his first dentist appointment this morning! He didn't so much like the dentist or hygienist and their exams but the environment was fun. The waiting room had a little play area with fish painted on the walls with lots of toys and the movie Cars playing. Once he got to the dentist chair, there was a tv above him with Sesame Street on! Afterwards, he got a token which he used to get a new bouncy ball. Will then got to put his handprint on the wall with his name under it since it was his first visit. And as we were leaving he got a fresh homemade chocolate chip cookie! Seriously...how fun is that dentist?! And afterward we headed to the park to play! I made sure Will knew how much fun it was to go to the dentist so that in 6 months when we go back he doesn't cry and scream and have to be held down through the exam like this time = )
The dentist said Will's teeth look great! He still has 3 molars coming in but they are all poking through so within the next couple months they will be here. And good news is his bite isn't bad yet so we dont have to work on stopping Will from sucking his thumb YET. The dentist said when he was a little older, Will would understand the process and it would be easier!! So all in all....it was a great first visit to the dentist.
Here are a couple pictures of Will in the waiting room. I wasn't able to get any pictures in the dentist room since I was too busy holding him down = ) Maybe next time!
