Our Daughter’s 1st Dental Visit

We have been so blessed with our family dentist. She is kind, professional and wonderful when it comes to working with children.

So yesterday we took L.B. with us to the dental clinic (based on our dentist suggestion). My hubby had a routine cleaning appointment and our dentist felt that this was a great opportunity to let our little one explore the clinic’s environment and get used to coming here for future visits. :p

At first, L.B. stayed in the hallway. She was a little bit nervous but very curious. The staff’s friendly smile and Daddy’s encouragement that everything is fine was very helpful.

Our dentist gave us a surgical mask (same kind she was wearing) and some gloves for L.B to play dress up and to get more comfortable (wonderful idea) and L.B. LOVED this part!

 

We were encouraged to stay in the same room, so that L.B. could see what was going on with Daddy. It looks like she felt that Daddy needed some hand-holding support (so cute).

Eventually, our curious little monkey wanted to investigate herself…

Based on all these drawings on the wall, I would say that our Dentist is very well liked by all her little patients.

Time to experience the dental chair on her own and of course it looks more like a new slide.

A reward (baby toothbrush) for being such a brave little girl on her 1st dental visit.

This was such an amazing experience. I’m so happy that our dentist knew better on how to introduce little kids to the clinic and now I feel more confident that L.B. won’t see this place as scary anymore! Thank you so much to our dentist for this wonderful idea!
