July 2, 2010 - First trip to the dentist

Charli and I went to the dentist on July 2. I needed to change dentists and thought this would be the ideal time to take Charli. I had been talking about it for quite a while so she hopefully wouldn't freak out. I told her they'd count her teeth and clean them. She was really excited. I had to go first - her orders but I had to anyway. But then she climed right up in the chair.


Missy, the hygenist put sunglasses on Charli to protect her eyes, but they didn't last long. But otherwise she was a real trooper.

She's getting the "sugar bunnies" removed from her teeth.

We weren't sure how she would do, but she even went for the polishing. She had cherry flavored paste.

And she thought that "Mr. Thirsty" was pretty cool. I didn't get the pix taken fast enough so she was game to do it again.

And she continued to do really well even when Dr. Lawton came in to verify everything and give her a once over. She'll tell you "I a rock star". And to be honest, I think she was for a first visit.

Now if all the rest of them can go this well..... I will try to get our 4th of July pictures up in the next day or so.
