Visit with the Dentist

Baby Bear had a dentist check up on Friday. The last visit 6 months ago, went so-so. I had to hold her and she was crying the entire time that the dentist was checking out her teeth. It was so hard to hold her and know that I could not sooth her.

This time around she was such a good little dental patient. She sat in the dental chair like a big girl.



For the last few days before the appointment, we talked about an episode on Peppa Pig, where Peppa Pig visited the dentist. So Baby Bear was somewhat prepared and actually excited to go to the dentist. But when they moved the chair down, she was a little wary about the whole thing.



The dental assistant showed her all the tools that she was going to use before putting anything in Baby Bear's mouth and actually let her touch and feel the tools. I think that really helped and she let the dental assistant clean her teeth and scrape the the plaque off.



I was so proud of her. She was great and didn't cry or anything. My girl is getting so big.
