The Dentist

Ruby and Porter both got to go to their first dentist visit.  Porter was very brave.  He went with his dental assistant, laid down on the chair and listened to Finding Nemo without a second thought.  He let the girl clean his teeth, spray and even use the sucker.

Ruby was another story.  She was cautious but aftersome convincing she let the dental assistant look in her mouth and clean her teeth.  I did have to hold her hand to make sure she stayed on the chair.

  

After the cleaning the dentist came over to look at Ruby's teeth and put floride on them but she wanted nothing to do with him.  We tried everything including her sitting on my lap but she just cried while keeping her mouth tightly clenched.  We let Porter get checked by the dentist so she could see how easy and painless it was but she didn't care.  Both kids teeth look fine except Porter's brown tooth but we can't fix that.

Afterwards they both got a bag with a toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss.  They were both were very happy to get new toothbrushes!

Of course Ruby has no problem opening her mouth to show me her teeth.
