Ok, can I brag a little? I'm sooo proud of my Munch. She did a bang up job at her first dental visit yesterday! Hubs and I prepped her the night before by reading lots of books on going to the dentist and also some role playing with a small flashlight and toothbrush. On the morning of the visit Munch was still full of apprehension but didn't whine or cry. Dr. Debby's office ushered us in to see a short feature on a friendly dinosaur going to see his dentist. Munch thought that was the bomb and it was smoother sailing from that point on. Plus a Snow White toothbrush (from Dr. Debby) and a new princess dress of her choice (from Mommy) helped to grease the process along. After a thorough examination by Dr. Debby, we found out that Munch's teeth are very close together which would require extra diligence on our part when it comes to flossing. Gi also has an overbite which may require orthodontic attention many years down the road. Lastly all her teeth have come in or are 2/3 of the way in. Nothing to worry about now. Going in again in six months for her first cleaning, x-ray and flouride treatment. Now Mommy can rest easier also.

A dinosaur to help going to the dentist is always a good thing... I am glad that a bit of bribery makes things go a long way... still, if it helps... that is the main thing...
Way to go, Gi! You certainly don't want to have rotten teeth at a young age. None of that black teeth look like some kids have! After all, you have a princess reputation to maintain!
You MUST brag about your munch, isn't that what this blog is all about ? Is the reason I come here :)
Way to go big girl Gi !!!
