Two Year Old Teeth Cleaning...

Braden went to his 2nd dentist appt today... :) He went to his first one when he was about 18 months, and then this was his 6 month followup. I have to give him major kudos b.c he was AMAZING!! He seriously blew Chris and I away! :) I think he might have been better than we are we when go to the dentist! HA!

The first appt we went to they just had a consultation with us and she looked at his teeth. This time we walked in and the hygenist asked if he was ready to have his teeth cleaned. I was like "What? You know he is only 25 months, right?" :) She said she was going to try and see if he would let her clean them...and lo and behold he was stoked! He must know he comes from a family where he has a grandpa and uncle that are dentists, and a grandma that is a hygentist. :)

This is a pediatric dentist office so they are awesome with kids...and they have all kinds of fun things. Braden picked out his toothbrush, the color and flavor of cleaning "agent" that he wanted on his teeth....and what cartoon he wanted to watch during the action (on the TV on the ceiling). :) He was so still just holding his mouth open. He was also into her orange gloves too so she let him pick out a purple one, and he wore it the entire time! HA! :) He was also pretty into the water thing that squirts in your mouth, and the one that sucks the air out. He sucked on it just like he was sucking on a straw. :)

The dentist came in and she talked with us about his mouth...said his teeth looked really good and clean, etc. She also thought that based on the fact that his mouth is long and narrow that he would probably need braces when those permanent teeth came in...b.c his mouth would be crowded. Maybe I should start saving now....awesome! :) I never had braces but Chris did...so that will be a new experience for me.

I really have to give this little man some props b.c he has proven how great he can do in many situations lately....all of his haircuts, two Xrays that he had where he laid very still, the dentist, any doc appt he has been to when they examine him, the flu shot he got this week, etc. He is very brave! :)

Overall, an awesome experience and we are very proud of how great he did. They said he was the best patient they had in the office all week. :) At the end he ran to pick out his "prize" from the big toybox, and he was in love with the place. :) I am sure he is already looking forward to his next appt in 6 months for another cleaning. :)

He wanted to lay at the very "top" of the chair. :)
My Uncle Cory, Papa Bugs, and Mimi Jan would be so proud of me! :)
