Eden's First Trip to the Dentist

Parker and Eden both had dentist appointments this week. It was Parker's second visit and Eden's first. I strategically scheduled the appointment on a Thursday so Cory would be able to go and help me.

The pediatric dentist that we use is wonderful! I can't say enough good things about them and we have had a great experience both times we have gone. I love the way that they explain everything that they are doing to the kids and often let the kids practice it on Nemo the Fish before they start cleaning. They also have a video game to play while they are waiting, which was a big hit for Parker (and Cory!).


We let Parker go first so he could show Eden what to do when it was her turn. He was such a big boy and did such a great job getting his x-rays and letting the hygienist clean his teeth. He even let her scrape some tartar off his front teeth, which surprised both me and the hygienist!
When it was Eden's turn, she hopped right up on the table and did exactly what the hygienist asked her to do. The hygienist told me that she did better than many of her older kids. I was so proud of Eden!

Neither Parker or Eden had a single cavity and they both got to have their picture made for the "No Cavity Club". We were so proud of them and hope that going to the dentist will always be a fun experience for them.
