Shiny, Clean Teeth

Today, was a Teacher In Service day at school. What does that mean? No school! Yay! We got to spend the entire day with mommy and daddy. What did we do? We went to the dentist. Yup, you read that right. We went to the dentist.

I was really good during my cleaning. I sat in the big chair all by myself.  I giggled when Cat cleaned my teeth with the special toothbrush. I now know why it's called Mr. Tickle. It's also the first time I had x-rays of my teeth.

Dr. Amy said that my teeth looked good. She said I didn't have any cavities, and I'm doing a good job brushing my teeth. Even though I'm doing a good job, I have to let mommy or daddy help me finish flossing and brushing my teeth.

After I was done, it was Mason's turn. Unlike his first visit, Cat showed him all the tools: Mr. Thirsty, Mr. Tickle and Mr. Squirty. Mason even got into the big chair with daddy so she could brush his teeth. He picked strawberry flavored toothpaste. He did okay for a while and then started to squirm because he didn't want lay down anymore. So, mommy broke out her iPhone and found a Thomas the Train video on YouTube to entertain him. I also got to watch the video. Mason didn't have any cavities either.

Dr. Amy said we both have cross-bites. So we'll have to keep an eye on it as we grow. Hopefully, it will correct itself. If not, we may need to get braces.

After the dentist appointment, we went to a park to play for a bit before lunch. Guess who we ran into? Auntie Margaret! She was taking Wrigley for a walk. Since she doesn't work on Fridays anymore, we don't get to see her when we go to the dentist. So, it was a pleasant surprise to run into her.
