J and C had their first dental exams today. I was so proud of them! They only cried a little bit when the dentist decided to check their teeth with a mirror. (The nerve, right!) P cracked me up. He went first. He was all smiles and grins until that mirror and then whined and moaned for a few extra minutes after the exam was over.
Well, then it was C's turn. She got to the same point in the exam and started crying. J decided it was time to be a stoic, big brother and started reassuring her that it would all be ok.
No cavities! At the risk of making every dentist out there cringe, I rewarded my kids' good dental health by giving them each a chocolate covered doughnut- after we waited the mandatory 30 minutes of no food and drink because of the fluoride treatments.
