First Visit to the Dentist

Today we met Dr. Peterson. A super nice dentist. Lon has all his baby teeth in! Dr. Peterson said Lon is showing no visible signs of cavities, his teeth are shiny, the only problem he sees is that Lon's teeth are very tight in his mouth and his front teeth overlap a little which could mean orthodontics later in his childhood.

In the front office.
In the chair, Lon said he was a little nervous.
The hygienist was showing Lon a toothbrush, he told her that his was a fire engine and the top part went round and round. He told her his ice cream cone toothbrush also spun, but his Diego one did not.

Getting a good look at those teeth!

Meeting Dr. Peterson, it went well.


Showing how big he can open his mouth


Why I adore my dentist.

Lon loved the glove balloon and wanted to sleep with it tonight. He isn't.
The hygienist then showed Lon how the water and the suction works, he wanted to keep playing with that!
He did get two good boy tokens to get himself a treat from the toy tower in the lobby. He was so proud of himself that he got TWO tokens.
The visit did go well, Lon used the teeth cleaner thingy on me, but they will use it on him in September.

This is precious!
Bad news about the crooked teeth - maybe we can fix them at home?

Good job to get him comfortable with the dentist. Will have to wait awhile to see about the crowded teeth.
Have a fun day.
