Dotty's First Trip to the Dentist Chair...

Dotty went to see a dental hygienist that works with her Aunt Julie on Friday, April 16th. From what I understand, the office does not really see patients that day but it is open so Dotty got to just hop in and hop out.

Dotty did really well with Sheryl and Sheryl was WONDERFUL with Dotty (Thanks so much!). Dotty got up in the chair and let Sheryl look at her teeth under the light. Sheryl was explaining to me that Dotty did not have a top baby tooth and that she would definitely need braces some day based on her bite but all in all she looked pretty good. At this point Dot burst out in tears! It was a bit of a surprise to all of us but I think the shock had finally wore off and Dot was a little scared.

Luckily Julie held Dotty and got in the chair with her and Sheryl was able to clean on Dotty's teeth a little. I am amazed at how well Dotty did with Sheryl cleaning her teeth. She just laid on top of Julie so still and even let Sheryl give her teeth a good brushing (which at home it is quite the choir to get Dotty to brush her teeth).

When it was all over Dotty got to pick out toys (several thanks to Aunt Julie) from the toy box, got her a new tooth brush, and away we went. I was very nervous about Dotty and this visit but it all went very well.

Enjoy the pics!
