October 3 - Dentist
We had been talking about the dentist with Levi and he had watched the PAW Patrol episode where Alex and Chase are scared of the dentist but then learn its ok several times to prepare him. We were definitely hoping he would be more cooperative this time then last time!
He did amazing!!!! Here he is climbing up in the big chair!
The dental hygienist was great with him. She noticed that he had on his Ninja Turtle sneakers and she went and found him a Ninja Turtle toothbrush, which just totally made his day. He opened his mouth wide for her to count his teeth, and stuck his tongue out at the right time.
The dentist then came in and needed to count his teeth and look at them and he opened wide for him too!
Levi has all 20 of his baby teeth and they all look great!!
The only minor melt down we had was after the dentist left they hygienist wanted to polish/brush his teeth before she painted the fluoride on. She asked him what flavor he wanted and he picked bubble gum and then she got out her special tooth brush and he wanted nothing to do with that, he started crying and said "no, use mine, use my mingen (ninja) turtle one!" And she happily did! So that made him happy again.
He got his picture on the big cavity free wall again, and actually smiled for a nice picture this time!
We will be back in 6 months :)
