Mia had her first dental visit this morning and it went surprisingly well. We had been reading her a book sent by her dentist for the last week called, My First Visit. It featured a dinosaur named Dinobrush with a toothbrush at the end of his tail. She was excited to go and see the chair that moves up and down. We found out at the visit that she had all her baby teeth already. I thought we were still waiting for some molars, but I guess she has had all her teeth for a long time.
The office had a sea life theme and Mia got to brush Nemo's teeth (strange to see a mouthful of human teeth on a fish) and starfish's teeth. It took a little bit to get Mia to sit down, she was interested in all the toys and puzzles lying around, but she allowed the dentist to count her teeth, look at them and brush them. She received a new toothbrush, a Dora sticker, had her picture taken and got to pick a prize (she picked a key chain). So naturally she would not leave the office. We played in the waiting room for about 10 minutes before she was ready to leave.
I'm just relieved that she has no cavities given that she gets juice with calcium once a day since she does not drink much milk.
