i was due for my cleaning so i thought it would be the perfect time to bring asher.
i go to a family dentist and he spent the first 4 years of his dental career in a pediatric dentist office so he sees young children as well as older children and adults. dr brady and his staff are super kid friendly and all have young kids so i knew asher would be very comfortable.
i liked that he could watch me get my teeth cleaned...then have his turn.
the pediatrician said it was the perfect age to introduce him to the dentist.
asher loves brushing his teeth so we didnt think there would be any issues.
and he hopped right into the dental chair....
he was ready to hop up in that seat and have his turn!
he let the hygenist (ann) scrape any "sugar bugs" off his teeth...
she then proceeded to polish them with bubble gum polish
he even let her spray the water in his mouth and suction it out.
then she finished off with a floss (not much to floss when you have huge gaps between baby teeth!)
she said that she couldnt believe how cooperative he was for not even being three.
dr brady said his teeth looked great, jaw line looks great and we are headed in a good direction with the health of his teeth. this was a relief since philip had dental/jaw issues at asher's age.
we will continue to make our 6 month visits a routine now that we have conquered the dentist.
thank goodness for tv in the dentist chair!
we could not be anymore proud of our big boy!
