Nolan's first trip to the dentist
On Monday, Landon and Carter had their dental check-up. Bob was working late so I took all three boys with me. That is always a hot mess because one goes back while I try to contain the other two in the waiting room. Carter has only lost his one bottom tooth but the adult tooth that is coming in is jacked up. It is coming in at such a hard angle I am nervous. When I spoke with the dental hygienist she assured me that in time the jaw and tongue will help correct it. I am not going to lie, I am putting away all the coins I find in the couch for Carter's braces in our future.
Next, Landon went back and he too didn't have any cavities. What a relief! As a parent you feel like a heel if your kids get a cavity so I am trying hard to keep that far far away. Landon was a little bummed that he didn't have any loose teeth yet.
As we were getting ready to leave Nolan says, "Mommy my turn?" I said, "Nope not yet buddy." He was so sad. The dental hygienist said bring him back and let's see if he will let us check out his teeth.
Check out his smile in the chair…He was so happy to be just like his big brothers.
Look at how serious he is!
She counted his teeth, flossed, brushed them with her super fast spinner tool, and he got to gargle with water. He was so proud of his new toothbrush, toothpaste, and prize he picked from the box. Check that off the milestone list…Nolan's First Dentist Visit!
