First Trip to the Dentist

Anna went to the dentist for the first time on Thursday. You can imagine the drama. She was really nervous to go but she made it through with only a few tears. Luckily she didn’t have any cavities so she doesn’t have to go back for 6 months. The assistant kept bribing her with toys so she would do stuff. She walked out of there with three toys, a new toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and 3 stickers. Well now you can imagine, she flosses her teeth like 3 times a day and brushes about 5. And they gave her a timer for two minutes to brush her teeth. That is quite a while to brush! And yes, she sets the timer for the rest of the family to brush as well. They told her to not eat certain foods because they are bad for your teeth and she has stayed away from them like the plague. We will take it for as long as it lasts!
