Dental Photos

The girls went to the dentist on Tuesday afternoon and both received good reports. I was reminded of how nervous Shelly was a few years ago when she went to the dentist for the first time. On her first visit, I had to lay in the chair with Shelly stretched out on my lap while the hygentist cleaned her teeth and then during the dentist's examine. I am sure it was quite a sight! Shelly told me on Tuesday, "mommy, I won't cry today". I told her, "I know you won't, you're seven now". She seemed pleased with that response. Here are the girls at the dentist:

Dental Day

Lily had a dentist appointment with Dr. Scott today. Her pediatric dentist is so terrific and the dental hygenists are great, too. I asked about bringing an apprehensive patient (aka Shelly) in for a visit and wondered if they had any tips for me. The hygenist suggested that we might trying playing dentist at home to help ease her fears. And sure enough, within an hour of returning home, Lily had her dental office up and running. The girls and I had fun and I think that by December, Shelly will be an old pro in the dental chair (thanks to Dr. Lily K. Foster).

Ok, I think that means "enough pictures, already"!
