Nate had his first visit to the dentist on Tuesday. One of the things that attracted me to this office was the kid's room. The room is painted in a jungle theme and there is a TV set up to watch cartoons. Since it was his first time at the dentist they didn't want to over-do it and make it unpleasant, so they did a simple cleaning with a toothbrush and then the dentist did his exam. Nate did really well with both. He even liked the suction tube, which the dental hygienist said a lot of the kids don't like. And at the end he got to choose a prize from the treasure box. He knew immediately what he wanted--a small soccer ball and goals. He keeps telling me he wants to go back to the dentist so I would say this first trip was a success!
