A Trip to the Dentist

This morning we got up and went to see the dentist, but not just any dentist! The daddy dentist. Both Brad and Gabi were so excited to get their teeth cleaned...even though Gabi has never even had this done. They have been to the dental office several times for lunch, but never to sit in the DENTAL CHAIR.

Brad and I were both worried about how the kids would do when they actually got in the chair, and we decided I shouldn't go back with either of them. So when we got there we started coloring in the waiting area and waiting for our turn. Little Brad was first and was really excited to hear his name called. He went straight back and Gabi was crushed when he got to go back first. She cried and cried! It was really sad. She quickly forgot all about it and I sent the camera back so the assistant could take pictures.

Brad did great! He had fun and even though he did get scared and whine a little when Brad was working on him, Dr. Dad said he was really good! He got some X-Ray's and was excited to see some pictures of his teeth. He thought the glasses were way cool and he was really proud of himself! We were extremely proud of him.

Gabi was all excited until it was her turn! Then she decided she wasn't too keen on sitting in the dental chair. So Dr. Dad decided Little Brad and I should stay back with her and she looked like someone had a gun pointed at her the entire time and she barely moved at all. Which was so funny and cute. She looked like she was scared to move. She did great though...she never cried, she never fought him on anything and she was pretty cooperative. I was very impressed. She did so good that Brad smoothed out one tooth that had a chip in it and she did fine for that as well.



Overall it was a great experience, and best of all we got to have lunch with the doctor after Gabi's appt. The kids had a great time and I must admit I was very proud of Dr. Dad. He did so good with the kids. I only got to see him in action with Gabi, but he was so cute and funny with her and got her to open and listen. I know he is going to be great with kids in practice, because he was awesome with ours today!

Now...if you think you will EVER read a blog about me in the dental chair with Brad think again. He might have been absolutely wonderful with the kids, but he wouldn't be so nice to me...I know it! I will have to find another dentist for my cleanings!!! :-)
