First Visit to the Dentist

Josh went to the dentist for the first time on Friday. Overall, I'd say he wasn't too happy with the experience. He definitely did not want to sit in the chair so he ended up mostly on my lap. It initially looked like teeth cleaning would be a no-go, but then the hygienist asked if Josh liked chocolate. "Chocolate?" said Josh. So, we were able to get his teeth cleaned after all, with some chocolate toothpaste.

Seeing the actual dentist was a whole different story. Josh was not interested at all. But you know what, once he started screaming the dentist could see right in there! At least we don't have to go through that again for awhile.

In summary

1. No cavities (or visible ones I guess).
2. Josh has all his teeth
3. All those gaps between his teeth, that's a good thing b/c then his adult teeth won't be so crowded.
4. Ahhh, the pacifier, which Josh only seems more attached to than ever. I thought we'd be able to get rid of it at three, but w/the baby coming, toilet training, really sleeping in the big boy bed, it might be more like three and half... But when it goes, hopefully his "open bite" will correct itself very quickly.
