Piper had her first appointment with the dentist on Monday. We have a Little Critter book where he goes to the dentist for the first time and ends up with a cavity. They give him a shot straight away and take care of the cavity, so once I convinced Piper that she would not be getting a shot on her first visit, but instead would get a new toothbrush and toothpaste, she was all for it.
The hygienist was wonderful. Piper's favorite instrument was the tooth tickler. When it came time for fluoride, Piper chose mint of all flavors (melon and cherry were the other options). After her cleaning the dentist came in for a look and gave her a clean bill of dental health, hooray! Then she had some pictures taken of her teeth, which the hygienist immediately put on pull-down computer screen so Piper could see. I think Piper's summation of the whole experience went something like, "Going to the dentist was the best day ever!" and more thank likely was followed by, "in the whole wide world!"
