Max's First Trip to the Dentist

Max visited the dentist for the first time today. We are fortunate to have a wonderful pediatric dental office here in our home town. They had toys to play with, kid-friendly equipment, and dentists and hygienists trained to work with kids. The whole experience went very smoothly. Max was a real trooper -- holding still for x-rays, and allowing a cleaning and fluoride treatment with nary a peep. His teeth looked clean and healthy, though the crowding and the overbite suggested that we have orthodontics in our future. Oh goody! Another expense to look forward to...

Is this a dental office or a tanning salon??!!


All clean!

Hurray for Max! What nice, shiny teeth.

May he find a future orthodonist as great as Dr. Bartroff ;)

Yay for Max! So glad to hear that it went well. Calder's first appt. is coming up in about a month! I'm terrified!

Now Max can say, "Look, Ma, no cavaties!" Good job Max and Mom.
