Carson had his first dentist appointment yesterday. He has SIX teeth now, and the dentist wanted to "count" them! All in all, it went well. Hopefully, he'll get more comfortable each time we visit!
When we got to the office, he was curious about this new place we'd brought him
but as soon as his dad let him get down and explore, he really started enjoying himself!
The hygienist showed him the different tools the dentist uses. She sprayed water into a cup, let Carson spray water into a cup, then sucked it all up with a tiny little wand. Carson got to feel the suction of the wand on his finger, and he thought that was pretty cool.
Then, the hygienist showed Carson a stuffed crocodile who had a bunch of (very human looking) teeth. Carson thought it was pretty neat.
Just like he tries to do to us, he put his fingers in the croc's mouth and had a feel around!
And, he even warmed up enough to give the croc a little bit of lovin'!
When the hygienist stepped out of the room, Carson decided to inspect the rest of the equipment on his own. Here he is checking out the lighting....
And then the doctor arrived.....
This was probably Carson's LEAST favorite part...but honestly, he did pretty well! The dentist had a look at his teeth, and applied a little bit of fluoride. It was over quickly, and Carson recovered like a champ! He also got to take home a new tooth brush and toothpaste, two plastic bugs, and a sticker!
