On May 21st, I took Ansley and Bailey to their first dentist appointment. We arrived at Ashby Park Pediatric Dentist around 9:30. When we arrived, one of the hygienist took us back to the sink where she gave the girls their own toothbrushes and they brushed their teeth. They thought that was great!!! However after that it went downhill =)Once they were done, we headed back out to the waiting room where I attempted to fill out all the paperwork while the girls wanted to walk around. I managed to keep them in the little play fort but they were very unhappy for some reason. Towards the end of our time in the waiting room, Bailey made friends with a little girl and they went up the stairs on the little fort.
When it was our turn, one of the hygienist carried Ansley and I carried Bailey. Another hygienist went over several items. Dr. Jen came over and I sat on the bench with Bailey and laid her back into Dr. Jen's lap. She then examined Bailey. Lets just say she thought it was awful =) She screamed the whole time!!! Dr. Jen said her three little teeth looked good. There was a tiny amount of plack on the bottom two in the front and Dr. Jen scraped it off very quickly and Bailey was done. Dr. Jen said things looked good and that she expected that we would see Bailey's molars to come in before the other teeth and would probably be in the next
two months. She also said her pallet looked very good, despite her being a thumb sucker. It was Ansley's turn so I handed Bailey to the other hygienist. Bailey was still very mad!!!!I laid Ansley back in Dr. Jen's lap. She was also very unimpressed by Dr. Jen wanting to examine her teeth. Dr. Jen said that Ansley's two teeth on bottom and four on top were wider than Bailey's and that she also had very little space in between her teeth. Also, it was time to start thinking about taking her passie and that we she see more teeth in her soon.
After the exams, the little ones and I headed home for lunch.
