Lila Goes to the Dentist

A few days ago it was time to take Lila to the dentist for her very first check-up.  The days before we went, we read Dora's goes to the dentist so that she would know just what to expect.  She was all smiles when we got there and couldn't wait to hop up in the big chair.

She was such a brave girl and let the super-sweet dental hygenist clean and floss her teeth.  After all of that, she even did awesome when they took 4 x-rays.  I was so proud of her.

The hygenist kept telling her what a great job she was doing and how she loved that her suglasses matched her outfit so well!  The only stinky part was when the dentist came in and told us that she had a cavity.  Say what?  A cavity?  My kids don't get cavities!  We brush their teeth religiously and they don't have candy all day every day.  I felt like such a failure!  We had to go back a few days later to get the dreaded cavity filled.  She was such a little champ, though, and now her teeth are all better.  She has since shunned those jelly beans she got for Easter and is all about flossing every night, too.  Let's hope our new tactics work.
