First Trip to the Dentist

Kassi had her first trip to the dentist this week. We talked about it for several days and I tried to explain everything that they would do. I told her she would have to open her mouth very wide and they would count her teeth, use a mirror to look inside, use a little "squirt gun" to spray water in her mouth, use a little "suction straw" to get the water out and use a really small toothbrush to clean her teeth.


When we got there she was so excited we went with the intention of just having her teeth looked at and counted, but she was so comfortable in the chair the hygienist said she was confident she could clean them without any problem and I knew she was right. So Kassi had her first cleaning. Kassi only let me take two pictures and then she told me I couldn't take anymore, but at least I got one of her in the dentist chair.


As usual she made a big impression on everyone and they all seemed to love her. When we left she asked when we were going to get to go back.


I am so glad it went this well. I know she is an outstanding little girl and always makes me so very proud so I always expect the best. I did have a little fear though because of an episode of "John and Kate Plus Eight" which I had seen where the kids go to the dentist for the first time and half of them scream and don't sit still. Not my baby girl though, she rocks!!
