Gavin's First Dentist Appointment

We had Gavin's first dental appointment this week. I guess I should clarify and say first OFFICIAL dental appointment. I had taken him to the dentist around 18 months when we were trying to figure out why this kid kept chewing the inside of his cheeks but in my book, it didn't really count.

This time we did the whole deal. He got checked out and cleaned up. He did GREAT!! He was excited about it and very calm and cooperative. The technician kept saying she couldn't believe he was just 3 from the way he was behaving (proud mom moment or course).

The dentist's assessment: everything looks great, all teeth in and accounted for, we're cleaning great and it there is nothing in his mouth that would ever make him believe he'd had a paci (um, what!?!).

See you in 6 months!!

Getting set with a NEW toothbrush and his sunglasses (aka protective gear)!

Watching a movie while getting cleaned--he eve didn't mind that sucker tube thing.

Seriously, who is this child--must just be used to all those therapists poking and prodding his mouth all the time.

Finally getting the A-OK from Dr. Steve.
