Landon's 1st Dentist Appointment!

Landon had his first dentist visit about 3 weeks ago. Apparently, I was a little late being that the dentist told me children should be seen every 6 months after the first tooth comes through! Uh oh...just about 3 years too late ;) He told me that they don't clean them till their 2 or 3 yrs old...but they like to check the teeth alignment and so on right from the teething stage. And if they aren't aligned correctly??? What are they gonna do...give a baby a retainer? I don't think so. They told me they'd love to see the girls for their first visit whenever I was ready. I think I'll take them a little earlier than Landon, but not right now. I think I'll wait another year. Anyhow...the visit went great! Dr. Wright and Mrs. Marlene (the hygeinist) were super nice and Landon was such a big boy! He was a bit shy at first, but then he let them do their thing with no problems whatsoever :)

Hmmm...not so sure about this.

Getting some x-rays

Showing Mrs. Marlene what a good brusher he is.

Mrs. Marlene wanted to make sure he was brushing correctly...and he was :)

He got these super cool shades to block the bright light.

Checking out those chompers.

Looking for sugar bugs.

The spinning brush tickled ;))))))

Dr. Wright came in after Mrs. Marlene cleaned his teeth. He counted Landon's teeth and then started using a bunch of dentistry terminology with Marlene that I didn't understand. He said that all 20 of Landon's teeth were there...and no cavities! He also said that they were aligned very nicely, and according to the x-ray, his adult teeth had great alignment, as well. Chris nor myself ever had braces, so maybe we'll get kids who won't need them either. Hope so!
