This morning marked Boyd's first trip to the dentist and he was cavity free! I've never seen a kid so excited for the dentist before. Boyd basically ran when his name was called and of course he was the hit of the office. The hygientist, I think her name was Neosho, was wonderful. She began by showing Boyd all the tools and letting him test them out. Then together they counted his teeth. Then she let him choose his toothpaste for the cleaning (Boyd chose chocolate). Then the cleaning and flossing followed. Oh, and Boyd was cold so she found him a blanket to keep him comfortable.
Boyd's favorite part- Mr. Thirsty the straw. He was even put in charge of using it.
Watching the hygienist floss his teeth.
While he waited for Dr. Miller to take a look the hygienist took Boyd on a special adventure to choose a toy and balloon. This snake was even better than the cool toothbrush he was also given. Look at those teeth sparkle.
Post appointment he told me, "I don't think I should go to school now, because I will be too confused since I was already at the dentist. We should just go home." Nice try Boyd, only 3 more days of school.
