Mommy & Daddy made me go to the dentist for the first time today. Everyone kept telling me it would be fun, but when your my age, if someone tells you something is going to be fun too many times, I start to have my doubts. I was able to get out of school for a day, and I had mixed feelings about that too. I do like school!
Anyway, Daddy and I made it to the dentists office, they had a rocking horse in the waiting room. I hadn't been on a rocking horse since I was 2, so I was a little rusty, but it came back pretty quickly. When the hygienist called us back, she explained all the tools she and the dentist would use. I was fine with all that, she then asked me to sit in her captain's chair. I did as she asked. Then I laid back and saw...TA-DA, a TV hanging from the ceiling and Tom & Jerry was on - I like the dentist. The hygienist turned this bright light on, she was so thoughtful, she asked if the light was too bright. I said 'yes', and she hurried off and brought back these.
Yep, sunglasses for my sensitive eyes, and headphones for Tom & Jerry. I was set. The hygienist started flossing my teeth, which was a little weird, having never flossed before. In the middle of my flossing I realized Daddy and the hygienist yelling at me to open my mouth. Then I realized I was biting down on the lady's latex covered fingers, OPS! I don't know what I was thinking about, mostly Tom & Jerry I guess. She said I had some nice chompers, and was much more careful for the rest of my cleaning. She finished cleaning my teeth, and then it was time for the dentist. He did a quick exam, counted my teeth, and gave me two high fives, for no cavities on the bottom teeth and no cavities on the top teeth. Then since I did such a good job, I could pick out 2 stickers, one pencil, and a toy, I went for the race car. He also said I could keep the sunglasses. Turns out the dentist isn't that bad. Maybe I will go back in about 6 months.
