Time for a check-up

If you sung that post title to the tune of Doc McStuffin's, you were spot on and you must have young children as well. :)  Today we headed to the dentist for the boys regular checkup.

Since Liam is still new to this whole dentist thing, they put us in one of the private rooms so he wouldn't get scared by anything else he saw - and likely so any crying didn't disturb others.  The downside of this is that Karsten didn't get to see other kids getting their teeth cleaned so he was scared.

The boys sat together in the chair while the hygenist got everything set up for Karsten's cleaning.  There was a TV in the room, so it kept their attention.


After some negotiations, Karsten finally agreed to let the hygenist clean his teeth...without any flavored floride treatment.  So, he got a good cleaning, but didn't get the gritty scrub on his teeth.  I never liked that part either.  He even got xrays taken of his teeth - he did a great job.


Liam wouldn't sit in the chair to let the hygenist clean his teeth, so he just sat on my lap for the dentist to check his teeth.  Thankfully their teeth got a clean bill of health and we don't have to come back for another six months!
