Okay, so not really his first visit. Ethan is a bit of a daredevil and fell when he was two years old and chipped a tooth. His front tooth. It looked bad. We took him to the dentist and had him look at it. It's grown out and really you can barely tell that it was chipped earlier. This May he also fell, on our carpet, and totally knocked one of his lower teeth. Seriously it freaks me out just thinking about it. I have a thing with teeth, I can't handle them. Ick. The tooth moved forward and the gum was completely purple, and it bled. A lot. Took him to the dentist then also, but that tooth seems to be doing okay also. Hasn't died yet and turned gray, so I think we are okay.
Anyway, his dentist trip went well. Ethan didn't want to lean back in the chair and so they just had him sit up and she cleaned his teeth that way. He picked chocolate toothpaste. Yuck. But, of course he picked chocolate. Anything chocolate and Ethan is happy. He went to the treasure box when it was over and picked out a snake and then it was my turn. He sat patiently and watched me get my teeth cleaned and even helped out a little by holding the water in my mouth. Good visit and no problems at all for either of us.
***oh and our dentist doesn't need to see kids until they are 4, so we weren't late on this appointment.***
