We were a little unsure how Joshua's dental cleaning was going to since he has had two traumatic experiences at the dentist not too long ago. We wanted to get him in now to try and show him that going to the dentist is not always unpleasant. We talked a lot about what goes on at the dentist, watched a few cartoons about going to the dentist and did a ton of role playing.
He walked right in and didn't seem nervous at all.
Daddy kept telling him that he had to open his mouth real big. So right when he climbed in the chair this is what he did...he opened his mouth real big and sat there.
He did so well! We didn't have any issues at all.
Both the hygienist and dentist commented on how he was the best two year old they have seen.
When the dentist was counting his teeth he started counting along with her. Such a funny boy!
On the way out he started asking for a ball. He remember that when he came back in March to watch Daddy get his teeth cleaned he got a ball a. What a good memory. Thankful that all went well!
