Our first dentist appointment

Well growing up going to a dentist that we knew and that knew us was really great and a blessing that we most defintally took for granted. Braxton had his first visit at the dentist this week. While it was not the most horrible thing that he has ever gone through it was most defintaly something that he has not forgotten. He did well and has still been talking about it but at the same time he does not want to go back today.
Here are a few pictures from our visit. Our normal hygentist was out and we had this sub. She was good but Mindy is really good. So I will know next time to make sure that Mindy is there.

Here is the hygentisit showing Braxton all the tools and how they work. I only wish I could have been on the other side to show you his face. He was not too sure about it all.
Braxton in the chair waiting to see what is going to happen. One really good thing is that they have TV's in every room so Braxton got to watch Thomas the train while working on his teeth - that was a HUGE help!
Watching Thomas with concern on his face!
He face really says a lot in these pictures. He was watching but just look at his eyebrows!
She is brushing his teeth with grape and he was not very happy with it all.
Can you see the tears?
Closing his mouth. He was finished before she was. We did get his mouth opened again and got him calmed down quite a bit.
The best part for going to the dentist - the toys!!! He as so excited to be done.
All in all it was a good visit. No cavities to be found. We will get to repeat again in 6 months. Way to go big boy~

It didn't seem so bad for Brazos and I. We found a huge pile of leaves and steps to go up and jump off of. I don't know why Braxton had such a hard time...Brazos and I enjoyed ourselves at his expense! Hopefully next time will be better with Mindy!

Too bad y'all aren't closer or Cousin Clint could be their dentist! Then again, we want them to like him, so maybe they are better off with a stranger. Glad he did good!

Most clinics today practice (Knoxville) pediatric dentistry to make the experience enjoyable for kids. Dental practitioners make it a point to establish a good environment during the first visit because that can either encourage or discourage the succeeding visits.

I'm glad that Braxton's visit had been a positive one. I hope that the next visits would be fun for him, too.
