Going to the Dentist

 If you live in Minot, and have children, I HIGHLY recommend Dakota Kids Dentistry.  Where was the kids dentist office when I was little?  It is so cool, I want to go there!  The boys both had dentist appointments today.  I was anticipating Theo to do excellent as he has done in the past and Woodrow to freak out because it was his first time and when we go to the doctor, he screams the entire time!

They took Theo back first to take x-rays.  He had this done about a year ago, and I know he doesn't like to do it.  I think it's hard for him to keep the little tool in his mouth, but he didn't really complain.  He liked being in the "Space Room."  After his x-rays we got to go back to the waiting room and read books...woah...my kids favorite activity.

When they called us back, the kiddos each got to pick their own toothbrush.  Woodrow dove right in and chose some transformers toothbrush, Theo took his time and inspected each single toothbrush to make sure that he picked the *perfect* one.  I think he ended up with a Ninja Turtle brush.  One hygienist whisked Theo into a chair while Woodrow and I went in a separate room.  Theo and I both didn't really have time to be nervous about this.  I wasn't too nervous about him because he's always been fine before, but you just never know.

Woodrow shed a few tears when he went into his room, but once I sat in the chair with him he started to check out all the cool things in the room.  Monsters University was playing on a TV screen, and the room is covered in under the sea motif.  He was holding his toothbrush very tight, but also really wanted to open it.  He got to pick "candy" (cotton candy) flavored toothpaste and did AWESOME!  These ladies know what they are doing.  He said on my back and laid back and he would have let her brush his teeth forever.  The good news, no cavities, the bad news...his two year molars haven't come in yet...CRAP!  I was hoping we were done with most of the teething.

Woodrow finished with the hygienist and the dentist came in and counted his teeth and Woodrow did awesome.  We got to go out and see the end of Theo's check-up when the dentist was doing the fluoride treatment and checking his teeth. No cavities for Theo either!

The boys were super excited that they got to end up taking home a new toothbrush, two stickers, and a prize, each!  I hope my visit later this month is equally thrilling!
