On Sunday Reed and I made a special trip to my Dentist office. It just so happens that my Aunt Penny is my Hygienist and she was cleaning Auntie "M's" teeth (making sure her pearly whites are ready for her wedding this coming weekend) and said we could come too if we wanted. I jumped at the chance to have Reed get familiarized with the office, tools, procedures, etc. with only a couple of people around - all of whom he knows well.
I was expecting Reed to do just fine, but he LOVED it. He was willing to lay back in the exam chair, have Penny count, brush, and pretend polish his teeth. He also grew very attached to the water sprayer and "Mr. Thirsty" (the suction/vacuum thing) both of which were put to heavy use at his request. I hadn't been able to confirm my suspicions that a few of Reed's two year molars had come in, but Penny did, he has three of the four! I really couldn't have asked for a better first dental experience and an added bonus is that Reed has been great about letting us brush his teeth since.
