Today I took "O" into the dentist for the second time, the first time she went it was to our dentist and they just freaked her out.  She was a little nervous and I went back since she asked me to and then she kicked me out a few minutes later and she was a real champ.  She brushed her teeth in front of them, she let them polish her teeth, she saw the dentist AND the hygienist to get the build up off her teeth.  She has no cavities but like all kids, needs to have sealants put.  "N" goes in on Friday afternoon for his first appointment EVER.  He may be a little more tricky than "O" but we'll see.

Right now she's so overtired from waking up early and the dentist that all she's doing is crying.  I feel bad that going to the dentist makes her feel overwhelmed but at least she was good there and got her teeth cleaned.  She will be taking her nap early today and then eating lunch afterwards.  Dazzle Dental is a cool place because they can deal with both kids and adults.  The kid area has a good size playground castle, a TV and a couple game consoles.  The adult side has nice leather chairs to sit in.  They took the time with "O" to make sure she was comfortable, understood what was going on and also made her feel calm.  Yeah the appointment took over an hour but at least she was able to get her teeth cleaned and see the dentist.

I'm sure "N" will like the place and I can already see him throwing a little fit when it comes time for him to see the dentist because he'll want to play instead.  I'm sure he'll surprise me and do the complete opposite.  I'm pretty sure that he will do really good.  So now I have done a really good, responsible thing for my kids and I did early so now it won't be so scary as they get older.
