First Dentist Appt.

Iris had her first Dentist appointment on Monday. She did great! We practiced saying "Aaahhh" all last week so she would be ready. She wasn't too excited about the big chair so in the picture below she is actually sitting on my lap facing me and then we just laid her back into the hygienist's lap. I stole the sunglasses idea from my friend Courtney's blog (thanks Courtney!). They did the trick! She was a bit hesitant but once we put the shades on she was just fine and let the hygienist examine and clean all of her teeth. She was licking the cherry stuff off of the "spinning scrubby thing" they use to clean teeth faster than the lady could get them cleaned. She also did really well when the Dentist came and examined her teeth. All her teeth looked great.

She got a new Dora toothbrush and "real" toothpaste. I'm suppose to teach her how to spit with the toddler toothpaste we are currently using and then switch to the real toothpaste. If anyone has any advice for how to teach her to spit only when brushing please comment below! The appointment ended with a Dora sticker and a pinwheel. Good job Iris!
