Tucker's 1st Trip to the Dentist

Tucker getting ready to get his teeth cleaned . . . He got to sit on Daddy's lap for his first visit!

Daddy was thrilled to be getting his picture taken as well - he loves that Mom brings her camera to EVERYTHING and that EVERYTHING is a milestone! I think a FIRST trip to the dentist IS a milestone! (I think he was jealous that he didn't get a balloon too for being a good boy in the chair!)

Everyone else got balloons though - check out all of the strings! Tucker got a new Carz toothbrush . . . pretty big stuff!

Dr. Jill checking out Tucker's teeth - all looks good! She sings the ABC's as she touches each tooth. She is really awesome with the kids and they all love her.

Tucker did a really good job today for his first visit. He was really calm and didn't seem to hesitate at all the have the girls clean his teeth or for Dr. Jill to take a look in his mouth. The girls also did a stellar job today getting their teeth cleaned, as well. They both have to go back to have some work done on a little cavity, but both have said that they would like Dr. Jill to fix them. Rayleigh has already had Jill fix one tooth, so I was excited to hear that she wasn't scared to go back. Jill is great, though, with the kids, so I am not surprised that they want her. She "casts as spell" on their tooth and "puts it to sleep" with her magic when she fills a cavity. She does the whole ABRACADABRA thing - it' quite the production (and the kids love it)! I am so thankful for such a wonderful dentist and great office staff as Saia Smile Center! Thanks Dr. Jill!
