1st Time to the Dentist!!

Daddy Piper has been hounding me to take the kids to the dentist. I have never had a pleasant dental experience and really didn't want to take the kids. I mean I REALLY didn't want to take them. We got an advertisement flier in the mail the other day and it was for a kids dentist, so I made the appointment to take them. It didn't turn out to be a half bad experience. The office was decorated to the hilt in a race car theme so the kids liked that right away. L did wonderfully and had a great time. She even let them do the x-rays without a problem. Now S - 180 degrees from his sister. He was crying and didn't want them to do anything. He did get a cleaning and a general checkup. His crying lasted about 5 minutes and then he was fine - could be the prize that helped him feel better. Both kids got an A OK from the dentist. Mom got a reminder to brush them twice a day. Not such a bad first experience!!
