Abby went to the dentist for the first time today. Carrie, my sister-in-law, is a dental hygienist and she got to clean her teeth, which made it easier I think. We tried to get Abby to go first by herself, but that didn't fly, so Carrie cleaned my teeth next and we showed her how much "fun" it is. After watching me, she seemed to think it was pretty groovy, and she actually let Carrie brush and flouride her teeth. Abby has a tooth in front that is darker than the others, and it worried us a bit, but the dentist took a look at it and said there was nothing to worry about. Phew. So her first dentist appointment was a success. However, we forgot to add Abby to our dental insurance plan and we missed open enrollment, so this bill and the rest of the year is all on us. woo hoo. Better brush those teeth.

I wish we had family in the dentistry field- we take Matt for his first appointment at the end of April and I'm a tad worried about his reaction, lol! Sounds like a great visit. Here's to no cavities!
Way to go, Abby! Keep 'em brushing!
You are a great mom. I think the girls are actually on our dental insurance, but they have never been. I wish we had a family member to take them too.
I REALLY need to get Stevie to a dentist. But I'm having a seriously hard time find a pediatric one in the area!
