Little man had his first trip to the dentist! He loved it! He was a little unsure about the chair leaning back while he sat on it but was great at getting his teeth cleaned! The hygentist asked him what flavor of toothpaste he wanted and she rattled of a dozen flavors: strawberry, watermelon, cookie dough ....he chose grape! That would've been my very last choice!! But he liked it. He chose cotton candy flavored fluoride and said it tickled his teeth!
We went to a pediatric dentist and I am glad we did! When we first walked into the waiting room there was a giant pirate ship playground! We also played a bit before we left :)
He also got to choose a prize, a tooth brush and had his picture taken with a giant bear at which point baby girl tried to steal the show! She loves a photo op!
The first trip to the dentist is the most fun, as always. It is when you get to really know how well your child will handle new experiences, which your little man aced, if I may so. Hahaha! In any case, I'm glad the visit was a success. Here's to a healthy set of pearly whites for him! All the best!

Congratulations on the successful dental appointment! I can only imagine how nervous you were while waiting for his turn. It’s pretty hard to predict a child's reaction to these things, especially when they’re experiencing stuff for the first time. Anyway, I hope he doesn’t have any dental problems to deal with. Stay healthy!

Nice! It’s great that he loved his visit to the dentist. I guess with this fresh, new perception, he's going to keep to this more regularly. And hopefully, some flavored toothpaste can get him into the habit of brushing his teeth more often. Anyway, thanks for sharing this with us. Cheers!
