We tried to take Shad to the Dentist about a year ago, when I was working at the dental office, and it did not go well. This time I went with a Pediatric Dentist here in Windsor, Dr. Oliver.
Kaihla was stoked to go, and Shad, well, he was apprehensive...
Until he found out they had video games!!! (This is in the waiting room)

First they put a monster on the chair, and showed the kids what they would be doing, let them touch the instruments, and showed them how they needed to open their mouth.
Kaihla was very interested....Shad was hiding behind my legs at this point!
Guess who went first??
Kaihla had no fear, or apprehension about hopping up on the chair and letting the Dentist look in her mouth!
Then she got her teeth cleaned! It even looks like she's smiling :-)
AND we got Shad up in the chair!!! Thanks to the handy-dandy,
DS. I swear we could have pulled his teeth, as long as he had that, he was fine!!
They finally got him to put it down, and guess what?!? It wasn't THAT bad!! Shad actually enjoyed it
They were even able to take X-rays! It was cool, they have a saddle that the kids sit on to take the x-ray's. I was so proud of them. They got to pick out a toy, they have them each a shirt with a red-eye tree frog on it (and Dr. Oliver's name & # of course!)..then we had a nice 'I'm proud of you lunch' at
McDonalds!!

Wow! What big kids they were! Tell them Auntie is so proud of them. I love that they are both sporting sweaters from the "Dunn Originals Collection"!
